Patrick Has a Bacterial Infection

Wednesday night, January 20th, Patrick began running a low fever. Thursday morning Joel took off work and took care of him. Around 2:00 G.G. took Patrick so Joel could go to work and then I took Patrick around 3:30 so G.G. could go exercise with Grandpa. His fever continued through the night and Friday morning I took off work to take care of him. His fever reached 102.7, he threw up, he had the chills and he cried of a stomach ache. I took him to the Dr. and he confirmed that Patrick had a bacterial infection. He gave Patrick a shot of rocephin and told us to come back Saturday morning for another shot of rocephin. Saturday morning Joel took Patrick for his shot. Patrick spent most of the day with low to no fever and we are hopeful that by morning he will be back to normal.

Patrick kept asking for a bubble bath last night. He did not last long before he was crying to get out but I think it took his mind off feeling bad for a few minutes.
