We're Home!

They finally let us come home! Camden hasn't had fever since Wednesday night, and his urine culture was still negative this morning. Dr. Scott diagnosed him with what basically amounts to a high fever with no known origin. He said about 20% of children under 12 months will have a fever which can't really be traced to anything specific. We'd obviously like to know what caused the problem, but we're really glad it wasn't a kidney or bladder infection with urethral reflux, because if it had been that we'd have to give him an oral antibiotic every day for SIX MONTHS! That would suck - bad.

He woke up this morning and it was obvious he had regained the sparkle in his eyes. He played and talked and asked (to the best of his ability) for someone to PLEASE take the IV board off his arm. He also finally took a bottle, which thrilled me to no end. (It was the first one he had taken in almost 48 hours.) The nurses finally unhooked him around 1:30, and we got home around 3. Thank you all for your calls, visits, thoughts and prayers!

He really tried to be a good sport, even when he felt like total crap-ola!

On top of everything else, he's got another tooth coming in. Apparently, chewing on Dad's hand makes it all better.

The hospital cribs look like jail cells. It was so big that I actually think I would have fit in it with him.

This afternoon he cuddled with the stuffed froggie Aunt Haley brought him.
