Jordan's sickness and sleepwalking

Jordan has been sick for the past two day. He had a high fever and upset stomach. He was happy as he got to watch tv while laying on the couch all afternoon on Wednesday.

Wednesday night after I had put them to bed, I heard the boy's door open and then close. The light went on and off several times so I decided to investigate. I opened the door and Jordan was standing by the door turning the light off and on. I asked him what he was doing and he told me that he had to go to the bathroom. He had had a little accident so I shooed him toward the bathroom. I then went and got him out new clothes.
As I entered the bathroom I saw that he had gone all over the floor. He was acting a little dazed so I had a hard time not laughing at him. I told him to get undressed and change his clothes. Normally Jordan is very obedient but this time he just stood there looking at me. I repeated it and again he just stood there. So I helped him take off his shirt and hoped that would kick him into motion. I told him again to get his wet clothes off and he just stood there. Finally I said, "Jordan, what did I just say?" He told me that I had just told him to stand up. I figured then that he was not in his right mind.
So I helped him take his pants off and left him his clean clothes to put on. I went to check on his bed to make sure it was clean and dry and it was. When I came back he had put his wet clothes on and then his new dry clothes on after that.
So I undressed him again and put new clean clothes on him and that seemed to wake him up and he was fine. I have never seen Jordan walk in his sleep. I am sure it was his high fever that help to add to his sleepiness.
Thankfully Jordan has fully recovered this morning. Jason is taking him with him to Campamento a town about 2 hours from here. We are maintaining a work there until missionary Daniel Jacobo comes and takes it over. Jordan is so excited to be going. We were all praying that his fever would be gone so he could go today. They are scheduled to leave in about an hour and Jordan is just sitting by the door with his backpack waiting. This is his first time to go overnight with Daddy when he preaches out of town.
