Oliver's Fever

Oliver has continued to run a fever. We went back to the doctor this morning and she said his ears looked better than they did on Monday. While we are glad his ears are fine, that means something else is causing the fever. So we headed over to the lab and Oliver had blood drawn. He did awesome - no crying, just watched and sat with Eric. Myself, on the other hand, was in the hallway with my head between my knees, trying not to pass out. I dread the day of having to take Oliver for a blood draw by myself. We are still waiting on more test results, but the nurse just called a little bit ago and said that he has an elevated white cell count and we are to head back to the doctor's office at 4:00 for Oliver to receive an injection of an antibiotic. After that, we will just wait for more results to come back in and hopefully his fever to break. The poor guy wasn't feeling like himself this morning, he was cuddling me and that doesn't happen often. So hopefully the antibiotic helps and we'll keep up with the Motrin to keep his fever down and maybe in the morning his fever will be gone. I'll update if we find anymore out from his blood tests.
