We'd like to ask everyone to pray for our boy. As some of you know, fevers are somewhat of a big deal in this house since New Years. Matthew developed a fever on Sunday and we've been pumping him full of motrin since then. If that were his only symptom we'd just have to keep an eye on him and keep him hydrated. That's the problem, though. Matthew is refusing to eat and he's refusing most liquids. We were finally able to get him to eat a little bit of a tortilla last night and we were able to get him to drink a little bit of Gatorade. Gilbert is on his way to the pediatrician with Matthew right now. I suspect it's something to do with his ear and/or his throat.
Please pray that this fever breaks soon so we no longer have to worry about it spiking quickly and he won't be at risk for a seizure. Also pray that he starts eating and drinking again soon so that he can regain his strength to fight this thing off. I'll update as soon as Gilbert lets me know what the doctor says.
Pedialite sells popsicles... the cold should help with the motrin lower his fever and keep him a little bit more hydrated. Your boy is definitely in my prayers.
