On our way up

I hope! Brian seems to be feeling quite a bit better this morning. It was tough go of things for just a bit this morning, but it seems (for the moment) that his fever is gone and that perhaps he is on the mend. I will never say for sure that a fever is gone until later on that evening. I have had one too many times that it seems to be gone and all better, only to get worse again as the evening wears on. In all honesty, I was fully expecting to go to the hospital this morning with Brian. He was very dehydrated and not doing well. He lost over 3 lbs. I didn't think that he was going to make it through this one without some IV fluids. I am SOOO happy to be wrong. As of right now, his numbers are back in the 80's and 90's which is right where he is supposed to be at!! Even if it is just a reprieve before the next wave hits, I am thankful to have it! Early this morning when I took Brian's blood sugar and it was 51, I told him he had to have a popsicle and Gatorade so that his blood sugar would go up. I said that if those numbers didn't stay up, he would need to go in to the dr and possibly the hospital. (50 is the very lowest that I am supposed to go to at home without a trip to the dr or ER) A few minutes later, Brian whispered down to me, as I was laying next to his bed, that everything would be okay. He told me that he had prayed that his temperature would go up so that he wouldn't have to go to the hospital. :) It seems as if Heavenly Father knew what he was talking about, even though the terminology was wrong. His blood sugar has continued to go up and he has once again dodged the hospital!!! Thank goodness. Oh, the faith of a child!!!
