OMG!!!! Specialist needed... that kind of heart rate is too weird.
I'll try and find you on skype... We'll talk!
HUGS
Tell the kid to hang in there... I am sending light, energy and prayers... every bit of woo hoo I know.

The docs {all 5 of them} said that it is most likely due to his intense pain and the infection. He has his instructions and we are keeping an eye on it and will not hesitate to drag him back in if it is warranted. Although not to those quack doctors that own the urgent care. I am SO not impressed with the lack of care he got there.
I am very confident in the quality of care he got last night. The hospital I took him to is world renowned, specifically for it's heart care.
He is so much better today that it is almost like he is a new kid. His throat still looks incredibly gross {I have a photo which I will link up in a while} and is still quite painful. Mono is a slow recovery so he will just have to take it easy. No work until he no longer has fever.
I am just happy he got a block of sleep last night and that he has an appetite and is generally just feeling less like death today.
I feel like I aged about 15 years last night. *sigh*
Thanks so much for your light, energy and prayers. It means a great deal to us both.
love ya, girlfriend.

LOL Rudy.
He would probably tell you he drinks his V-8
and that he kisses no girls {cuz the one he is sweet on doesn't live around here}
and that he might feel up to playing a little ODST tonight.
Thanks for caring so much about my kid, darlin.
