Orlando Day 4 / 5

Day 4… Magic Kingdom part two. After our late morning trying to make sure Isaiah was hydrated and well rested we got to the park around 1pm and met up with Grandma Kolis and Aunt Becca in Tomorrowland. We rode a few rides, he enjoyed It’s a Small World and tolerated Peter Pan, but while in line for Peter Pan, only little more than an hour and a half into our visit he was already getting crabby. We walked back to the other side of Fantasyland and got some ice pops to let him have some down time in the stroller and wait for our fast passes for the Winnie the Pooh ride. Just before we boarded the ride he spit up right down Rachel’s shirt. He was really warm and since Rachel felt pretty gross, (which is understandable) we left the park around 5. He slept the monorail ride back to the car and most of the way back to the condo. When we got him home we were worried he was suffering from heat stroke since his whole body was hot and his heart was beating crazy fast. We stripped him down to the diaper and did the whole cold compress thing, gave him a room temperature bath which helped some, but his head and armpits were still really warm. I ended up running out to Walmart to pick up a thermometer and some baby Tylenol. He was elevated to 99.6 but not full on fever. He threw up again and started to get a bit of a cough. He was still able to cry and wet his diaper so we knew he didn’t have heat stroke. The Tylenol helped some and he was able to sleep most of the way through the night. The morning of day 5 (today) he woke up at 6 crying pretty good, as hot as ever. He still had a wet diaper, which was good, but when we took his temp this morning he had a temp of 101.1. We gave him some more Tylenol and packed up for a nice trip to the ER. So here we are now sitting in the hospital waiting for the results of his RSV test and a chest x-ray to make sure it isn’t something more serious than a little virus. We’re a bit worried since tomorrow is the one month cutoff before his scheduled hand surgery that he can’t be sick during.
Some vacation eh? Its alright. I’m bummed we’re not at the parks today, but his health is way more important than seeing all of Disney. We’re supposed to see some of my extended family tomorrow, but we may not be if he’s admitted to the hospital here or if it’s serious enough to warrant us to drive home today or tomorrow. Anyways, your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.
