THIS WEEKEND, WAS QUITE A SURPRISE.  JOYCE PICKED UP SHAQUAN SATURDAY AFTERNOON AROUND 1-ISH.  AND I THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. UNTIL MY DAD CALLED TOBY'S CELL PHONE SAYING THAT SHAQUAN WAS NOT ACTING HIMSELF.  HE WASN'T EATING VERY MUCH, HE'S REALLY HOT, AND VERY SLEEPY.  AND I THOUGHT THAT SOUNDED JUST LIKE TEETHING.  THATS HOW HE WAS ACTING THE LAST TIME HE GOT TEETH IN.  I CALLED MY DAD BACK AROUND 9 AND SAID HE'S PICKING UP A LITTLE BIT, SO HE  SEEMS TO BE FEELING BETTER... BUT I STILL WORRIED ABOUT HIM ALL NIGHT LONG.

ME AND TOBY DIDN'T WAKE UP UNTIL LIKE 1 IN THE AFTERNOON ON SUNDAY AND I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM JOYCE.  SHE SAID THAT SHE WAS REALLY WORRIED ABOUT MY LITTLE GUY. THAT HE WAS REALLY HOT AND BARELY HOLDING HIS HEAD UP.  NOT THE TYPICAL SHAQUAN ACTIVITY.  SHE SHE WAS GOING TO BRING HIM HOME SO WE COULD SEE HIM AND TAKE HIM TO THE DOCTOR.

WELL, WE GOT READY AFTER SHE LEFT AND WENT STRAIGHT UP TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM.  SOMETHING WAS DEFINITELY WRONG.  I TOOK HIS TEMPERATURE BEFORE WE LEFT AND IT WAS 103.1.. WHICH IS PRETTY HIGH.  SO WE WENT TO THE ER, AND THEY TOOK US BACK PRETTY FAST.  HIS HEARTRATE WAS REALLY HIGH AND HIS TEMPERATURE HAD WENT UP TO 105. THE TRIAGE GAVE HIM MOTRIN AND WE WENT STRAIGHT BACK INTO A PED'S ROOM.  THEY PUT A CATHERDERE IN, AND GOT SOME URINE.  DREW A GOOD BIT OF BLOOD, AND HE ALSO GOT A CHEST X-RAY. 

SO, WE WAITED, AND WAITED, AND WAITED.. AND FINALLY THE DOCTOR FINALLY CAME IN SAYING THEY KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON.  SHAQUAN HAS ACUTE PNEUMONIA IN HIS RIGHT LUNG.  I THOUGHT FOR SURE, THEY WERE GOING TO ADMIT HIM.. BUT THEY SAID THEY WAS GOING TO GIVE HIM A REALLY STRONG ANTIBIOTIC THAT WILL LAST 24 HOURS AND THEN HE NEEDS TO BE ON AMOXICILLIN FOR 10 DAYS.  I WAS RELIEVED, BUT I FELT SO BAD FOR MY LITTLE BABY!!!!!

NOT TOO LONG AFTER THEY GAVE HIM THE ANTIBIOTIC (THRU AN IVY IN HIS ARM), HE WAS PICKING UP.  SMILING AND PLAYING, AND HAVING A LITTLE BIT BETTER TIME.  WHICH WAS WONDERFUL.  HE MUST HAVE BEEN GETTING SOME RELIEF.  SO BY THE END OF THE TIME WE WERE THERE (AND WE WERE THERE FROM 3 UNTIL ALMOST 6) HE WAS ALMOST BACK TO NORMAL.  YOU COULD STILL SEE IN HIS EYES THAT HE WAS STILL SICK.  SO WE SIGNED OUT AND LEFT. 

GOT SOME DINNER FROM CHURCH'S CHICKEN AND WENT HOME TO EAT.  SHAQUAN WAS EATING AND DRINKING HIS JUICE.  HE SEEMED TO BE FEELING BETTER.  RUNNING AROUND AND TALKING YOUR EAR OFF. 

HE WENT TO SLEEP PRETTY WELL LAST NIGHT, AND I AM JUST WAITING FOR HIM TO WAKE UP THIS MORNING. I FIGURE I'LL LET HIM SLEEP AS MUCH AS HE WANTS, TO GIVE HIM STRENGTH AND JUST SLEEP THE SICKNESS OUT. 

SO FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT PRAY ON A REGULAR, PLEASE KEEP MY LITTLE GUY IN YOUR PRAYERS.. I WANT HIM TO GET BETTER, I'D REALLY HATE IF HE GOT WORSE!
