I am frustrated, tired, helpless and distraught. We arrive in the ER and brought back immediately as they fear he has meningitis. He is examined and they run an influenza test and CBS which all come back normal. Despite not having reflexes in lower extremities and diminished upper extremity reflexes, we are sent home and told he has "a virus".
As a nurse, I never bring my children in. He had never had a sick visit in his life, let alone an ER visit. I am frustrated and sad because I feel so helpless and know something is wrong. We go back home and I carry him to bed with tears in my eyes. He doesn't even look like my son anymore. He is listless and in pain.
