Baby Carson is HOME!

Poor baby Carson got a fever when he was only 9 days old. We called our doctor, and they told us to take him to the ER. Once we got there they called us in immediately. For all infants less than 1 month old who get a fever, they do a urine test, a blood test and a spinal tap to test for various bacterial infections, the flu, RSV, herpes, mengintis, etc. They started all of these tests right away and told us that baby Carson would have to be admitted to the hospital for at least 2 days so they could administer antibiotics and wait for the test results. My heart sank when I heard this, and it killed me to watch my 9 day old baby go through all of the tests. His fever persisted for 3 days but finally broke, and you could really see his change in attitude. Praise God that all of the tests came back negative! The doctors were also a little concerned about his heart, but after a chest xray, EKG, and echocardiogram, he now has a 100% clean bill of health! Our time in the hospital was really tough on all of us, but we are now home happy and healthy. Thank you to everyone who prayed consistently for us. We needed those prayers, and I am so thankful that God is watching over us.
