Just as the boys and I were popping up some popcorn to watch a movie, I noticed Damon was starting to breathe a little fast, and labored. He had a fever all day yesterday and coughed a little but nothing much. I called Dr Tong's office and spoke w/ the dr on call for him. He thought I should take him in to be seen just to be safe and advised me to go to Urgent Care vs the ER because they would probably have a pediatrician on call. (He lives in Springfield and they do things like that there.) So we went to Urgent care and got in right away. The dr looked at him and decided given his heart history he wasn't comfortable treating him there and sent us to the ER. So next time I'll know better than to go there, although it did save us a long wait in the lobby because the Urgent Care doc called the ER and had them get a room all ready for Damon.

He had a chest xray, RSV and flu tests and a blood test and they decided he has a virus, go figure. The RSV and flu came back negative. The labored breathing was due to the fever. We got to come home around 1:15am. Damon still has a fever today, even after two doses of Motrin and 1 of Tylenol, which is still causing him to have labored breathing. I've made an appt w/ Dr Grote for tomorrow morning just in case he keeps running the fever through the night. So please pray for Damon to get better!
