This past week has been a little stressful, especially for Cory!! Last Sunday night Cory started feeling congested and was running a fever. He thought he just had a sinus infection and felt a little better Monday. Well, by Tuesday after work he felt a little worse and decided to take Wednesday off and go to the doctor. By that time his fever had come down from 102 to 99 and they thought he was getting over whatever little virus he had so no medicie was prescribed. When I got home from work on Wednesday night I noticed a rash all over Cory's arms, and then he soon discovered more of the rash all over his legs. That night he spiked a fever of 104.8 and we almost made a trip to the ER!! His fever came down to 103 and we decided to wait and make an appointment for Thursday! At the doctor Cory quickly became "the medical mystery" of the office. Three doctors looked him over and were baffled by his symptoms. They did some lab work and had us come back on Friday. That night I searched the internet for what seemed liked hours, and although I did not want to believe it I came across pictures that looked just like Cory's rash! Also, the other symptoms matched his completely!! Finally all the pieces of the puzzle fit, and after confirming my suspicions with the lab work the next day, Cory was finally diagnosed with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. This means, at somepoint in the last two weeks he was bit by a tick that infected him. Thankfully we caught it pretty quickly and he is now being treated with antibiotics. Thank you to everyone who prayed for him, and we ask everyone to continue to pray for a complete healing, because there can be some permanant side effects from this infection. Cory is feeling better each day, but he still has some pretty stiff and swollen joints and headaches that come and go. Hopefully he will be able to return to work on Tuesday or Wednesday!
Grampy and Grammy Quirk came to visit this weekend and they bought us tickets to the Mizzou game. It was a blowout and we won 52-12!!! Cory was feeling good enough to go to the game, but it really wore him out!! We had fun and hopefully we can go to some more Mizzou games this year!
Some family friends went to the game with us and Liam loved to play with Jamie!!
