Well, Wookie had is first emergency room visit. For the last week, the flu has been coming through the family. Amber and I are the only ones who have not had any of the symptoms. Anyway for the last few days, Wookie has been running a fever and just was plain miserable. We had been providing Tylenol and Motrin, but yesterday his fever would not lower. Amber called FT. Eustis and they told us to take him to the emergency room. It was good that we did. We found out that he had a double ear infection and the flu. What was funny is that he did not show any signs of his ears hurting. So after three hours and several pokes and prodding’s, he was released from the ER. I would say that his visit and what he saw for the first time, is something that I am grateful he will not remember. He was not very happy anytime a person came in with smocks or a white coat. Friday he slept in our bed and Amber was on the couch. She really needed a break and hopefully got a good night rest. He only woke up about 4 times. Once he rolled off our bed; reminder that the top of our mattress is about 3 feet off the ground. As of Saturday his fever has broke and he is on the mend. Here is a picture of his first visit. As you can tell he was not happy and really wanted to be “done” and go home.
