Cold much anyone?

One week here and we've already been lucky enough to visit the local hospital! Last night Nick woke up at 12:30am shivering badly enough that the shivering actually woke ME up. It was totally odd and a bit scary. He was saying the room was freezing cold and he needed more blankets and was pretty out of it. It was 70 degrees as usual, but I got two blankets for him anyway but he wasn't getting any better. I checked his temperature and it was at 101 so I got him some ibuprofen to try to take the temp down. I asked him about a bunch of symptoms and did a check on the iPod to see if I could find a non-lethal explanation. Of course good old webmd always lists the awful things first saying "see a doctor immediately or you might die"... because that is the comforting news you want to read at 1 in the morning when you're trying to figure out why your husband broke out in shivers. About twenty minutes later he was still shivering, so I asked Nick if he wanted Wally to give him a blessing.He said yes so I got Wally and he gave him a quick blessing. After 10 more minutes of shaking, Wally and I decided it was time to take Nick to the Emergency Room. (Several other symptoms played into the decision as well but I'll leave those out for Nick's sake and yours). On our way out the door he started feeling nauseous and threw up for several minutes straight so out went the ibuprofen and up went the fever. We were pretty concerned and even more so finding out that his temp was up to 103 when we got there though he said he was feeling "much better". They drew some blood, took a flu swab and ended up giving him two IV's. About three hours later, they determined it was likely to be a bad stomach virus that has been going around and sent us home with instructions to have him rest a lot and take some anti-nausea pills to help keep food down. He got some good sleep when the tylenol got his temp closer to normal and the anti-nausea meds helped stave off the puking. Thankfully all is well again and Nick is feeling great. Ready for another day working at Wal Mart. It is times like this though that make me appreciate all of the health we normally have and really get annoyed at WebMd for not including some sort of disclaimer at the top of "It's probably nothing that's going to kill you because all of these life threatening diseases and conditions are extremely rare, so tell your loved one to take Tylenol and go back to sleep."
