4 days

Well, Ben made it through the first 8 weeks of school without getting sick...then the 9th week hit, and so did the fever and illness. We held out as long as we could, hoping things would clear up, but 4 days of continuous fever later and 2 doctor visits, he has an upper respiratory infection and very congested lungs. Since this is his first illness in quite sometime, the doctor wants to see how he will respond to antibiotics and delay IVIG infusions for now. Ben missed most of the school week, and really missed his friends, teacher, etc. Hopefully he will begin to feel better over the weekend and be well to return to school Monday.
Here is a picture of Ben today while at the doctor...you know your kid doesn't feel well when he asks to lay down on the exam table "to rest".
