Update on Jaxon

Well, we had quite a crazy last 24 hours. Yesterday Jax wasn't feeling very good and we thought it was just a JRA flare,(not just a flare, cause when he has one he doesn't walk around and we were up on and off from 3am and on, because he was in a lot of pain in his legs and stuff). But last evening he started to get more of a fever and was hurting in his tummy, pain that made him cry out when he sneezed. At 10pm we decided to bring him in cause his fever was spiking to 102 and he hurt when we pressed on the right side of his belly and I was worried about his appendix or something. While we were there, his fever just kept going up and he started to throw up. They decided to keep him over night to get him hydrated and get his fever, that got to 104.5, down. We didn't get settled in his room until 2:30am and then he didn't sleep until 3:30am because he was throwing up. He has had fluids all day today and has been sleeping most of the day! He had lots of visitors too, he was so out of it that he hardly noticed, but it was nice of them all to come and check up on him! He ate something this afternoon, but the Dr. wants to keep him in until tomorrow just to make sure it isn't anything but the flu. It still could be his appendix, but they aren't really sure what is causing his stomach pains and his fever! I feel better about staying here tonight just so they can keep an eye on him and I don't have to worry as much! It's hard not to wonder why a little guy that goes through so much already has to have this too! Hopefully we can go home tomorrow feeling a lot better!! I just hope it isn't the beginning of something with his appendix or anything else, but I have to leave that in God's hands or I will be completely drained! Pray that he would be able to fight off his fever and be able to go home tomorrow without any other complications. Thanks for all your prayers and concerns!

Poor Jaxon! Hope he gets to feeling better very very soon! It is so hard to see one's child hurting.
