I ended up taking DS2 in to the doctor today. His fever won't stay away and he is just miserable and not acting like himself at all. No sign of ear infection, pneumonia, strep etc. The pediatrician knows his history with his kidneys and ordered a urinalysis. He had to have a catheter twice, and he never pee'd while it was in. I ended up catching a tiny amount of urine in a collection cup. She prescribed antibiotics for a UTI. He got an injectable antibiotic in the office and we will start oral antibiotics as well. It could still just be that the fever is fighting off a virus and he doesn't have any symptoms of it yet. I don't know I just have this bad feeling in my gut. He won't sleep unless he's held upright on one of our chests, he is eating less than usual, and when he does sleep it's fitful. I'm really scared that something is really wrong and we are just missing it. I feel totally helpless. Any good thoughts or prayers you have to send our way are appreciated.
