Our little medical marathon

No, it wasn't me this time.
Ivan started feeling sick Monday morning and by the time we made it to Jonesville that evening, he wanted nothing more than to take a shower and go to bed.
We haven't been able to keep his fever down so he's been having chills, plus he aches all over and has had hypersensitivity to touch. He's not been able to eat much (a little boiled squash, some chicken broth) and has pretty much spent the week in bed.
Not fun.
Yesterday morning he was feeling worse so we ended up going to the ER. And that's when our little 8 hour medical marathon began.
The ER doc was puzzled by the odd set of symptoms. He ordered blood work and a CAT scan, bringing up the possibility of diverticulitis.
It's not.
Thankfully.
Whatever it is, it's viral and that means we just have to let it run it's course.
Not fun.
We went directly from the hospital to our family doctor to discuss some other findings on the CAT scan.
Looks like we'll be making good use of the extra couple weeks in the U.S.
Ivan's now scheduled for a few more tests.
I guess he didn't want me having all the fun :)
