Coxsackied that is...... Yup its true, Bryce woke up Saturday morning with a 104 temp, brought him to the doctors couldn't find what was wrong sent us home.
Saturday night never slept even 5 minutes and just cried all night long. Sunday, feeling yucky only slept about a half hour, temp still spiking. About 1 am after 4 straight hours of crying, I called docs, said go to ER. Got to ER was there until 5 am, they did every test the could came up with nothing.
Monday, since Bryce still never slept Sunday night I called the doc again went in and finally blisters had developed in his throat, (not that I wanted that but I needed to know what was wrong) Coxsackie Virus, very painful and VERY contagious! But I was glad to have an answer. there is NO meds to get of rid of it, so we now wait...........
Today he seems better but has diarreah.... Not as cranky though so hopefully is on the mend!

Sorry to hear about your weekend. I too hate it when the doctor cannot figure out what is wrong. You know in your heart that there is something definitely wrong and to have the ER not know what it is, is frustrating. Glad to hear that he is feeling better. Hopefully the two of you can try to catch up on your sleep. How did you make out on your search for someone to watch Bryce while you went back to work? Hope that everyone else is doing well.

Hi Erika, I hope all is well. He is getting so big, and is very cute. I am glad I read up on your page, because the symptoms your son had is what my Brady is going through. Good to know because his doctors didn't have any answers until today, when I told them he had a white blisters on his tongue, but they told me to give him 1/2 teaspoon og Benadryl and 1/2 teaspoon of Malox. I know it sounds crazy, but they said to make it into a paste form and paste it onto his tongue. It did work!!! I hope you will keep me posted on your son's progress.
Take Care,
Keri
