One sick kiddo

Hayden sure is one sick little guy. He never really runs high fevers but last night it hit 104.7 degrees with Tylenol and Motrin in him. Not only that, he looked awful and wouldn't really respond. I called the doctor and she said to head to ER. Luckily, they opened the new Phoenix Children's Hospital urgent care. We decided to try it out.

PCH urgent care is as great as the hospital. The staff is amazing! Within a couple of hours, they had Hayden's fever dropped and he was talking and charming the staff. He is so funny. I've never met anyone as "at home" in a hospital, as Hayden. He absolutely loves doctors, nurses, the machines and the entire hospital enviornment (except for needles). What a crazy kid. He was cracking the doctors up and explaining to them how his heart was switched and how Dr. Teodori fixed it. He had them all being putty in his hands. He was telling them he was going to grow up and be a scientist that studies dieases. But, that he also wanted to be able to help the kids when they were sick. He was explaining his experiments and how they were going to make kids get better. Seriously, do most 6 year old boys try science experiments to eliminate disease? I love Hayden and all his little quirks. Oh, they asked him to rate his pain and he pointed to the smiley face. The nurse said, "Hayden, everytime you cough or talk, you get a scrunchy face, you can't be happy?" He said, "oh, I know it hurts, but I still like being here, so I am happy". It is true. Hayden can find the good in anything, and he had people that would listen to his stories and were fascinated by his heart. He was in his element and regardless of being sick, he was happy!
