RSV and H1N1 test

This totally sucks. They are going to swab him for RSV and H1N1 meaning that we now have to wear masks and are quarantined to the room again. This sucks.

It is unlikely that he has either, but Mason has surprised us before. I think they (nurses and docs) know how unlikely it is too. But it's protocol.

Did I mention this SUCKS?

They are holding off before giving him more ibuprofen because his temp is down...they want to see if his fever broke or if we're just masking it. No other symptoms yet.

Talked with the neurologist on call. She is pretty certain that these seizures came from his fever...but again, no idea what is causing the fever. I can't believe that they can't figure this out. They can't blame it on an ear infection this time because they had an attending doctor check his ears and she said they look fine.

Dr. Koehn is on hospital duty starting tomorrow so we hope to see her and talk about his new anti-seizure plan with the Keppra instead of the Tegretol.

We are all going to watch the game here. Chris and I are heading home after the game and will be packing for a few more nights, just in case. Don't have a clue what the plan for the week is, but I have to say how appreciative I am of all the help that has been offered and given thus far.

Attached is a picture of our little Macemeister. He's a tad crabby, but still managed a smile for the camera:
