Fever Still Here

101.9 - the clock just stopped on going home. He has to be fever free for 48 hours + negative blood cultures - this room is getting smaller and smaller....

It took three of us to get Alex's nasal swab. I sat Alex in between my legs, and wrapped my legs around his, then held his head with both hands. Eric held Alex's hands, and the nurse took the swab.

He cried and cried - so did I.
