Yesterday afternoon Stephen's fever was over 103 so I called the doctor. He said to go ahead and start him back on Tylenol. He also prescribed a strong antibiotic (just in case) there was something else going on that he hadn't discovered.
Stephen was hoping when he got up this morning that everything would be back to normal, but his fever was still high before I left for school. He called me about 10:30 a.m. and said he was sweating like he'd been running a 5K. But, afterwards, his fever was 99! Hurray! We're praying that this is "the break" we've been waiting for and that this he can now start his recovery.
If it is the end of the fever as we hope, he will still be hanging out in the house for a week or two because the doctor's say that he will be really tired and his body will need time to recover from the virus. Tomorrow he will repeat the blood tests and see the doctor in the afternoon.
Thanks to everyone for praying--I will definitely let you know if this is the beginning of the end!
