    Christy, thankyou for sharing your story hun.
    I know how scary it is when you don't know whats wrong. When Jack was only 10 weeks old he had extremely high temps for a few days (and also very high white cell count) with no other symptoms and they thought he may have had meningitis, unfortunately he had to go through the pain of a lumbar puncture to find out (fortunately) that it wasn't meningitis and that he had a UTI.
    Like M, Jack obviously has en extremely high pain threshold. The doctors couldn't believe how well he handled it, they were poking and prodding him and he just grinned at them, LOL. They said he should have been vomiting and in lots of pain (especially when he wee'd).

    I hope M recovers quickly and everything gets back to normal for you soon. for m and for you.
