Well.... Riley went to the specialist in Wichita yesterday. Dr. Whitler didn't do anything other than a typical office exam.
I called on Monday to ask the nurse if they still wanted to see Riley. I told them he had been acting normal, I believed his fever broke, but he still looked pale and glassy eyed. She said Doc still wanted to see him.
Tuesday, Riley came home with a 99.9* fever from school..... nothing too alarming, but not normal. This reassured me, that maybe he really needed to be seen. His fever had a pattern of breaking for several days, and then it crept up for a bit.
The Dr. wasn't really alarmed. Riley didn't have a fever in the office. He gave us the option to do more labs.... I decided that if the Dr. wasn't alarmed then it wouldn't be worth it. He just said to bring him back for several tests if this pattern keeps up for a couple more weeks.
Hopefully, we are over the hump....34 days later.....

Hopefully that "specialist" didn't cost you an arm and a leg!
How scary! Poor Riley, this fever needs to go away! You are such an excellent mom!!!
Crossing our fingers that you don't have to deal with this anymore!!!
