Thanks to everyone for your advice. Yesterday I was in major panic mode and the responses I got and reading other posts here on the forum helped tons.
Update on sick little Sicily: I tried the terramycin soak yesterday afternoon and he totally hated it. He kept trying to get out of the bowl so after five minutes I took him out because I was worried he would hurt himself and he was using up what little energy he had. He didn't eat or drink or open his eyes at all. He proceeded to knock over the one thing I left in his enclosure (his hide) and then turned himself over again.
After completely exhausting himself all day with walking into things he finally tucked up in the middle of the enclosure and went to sleep around 9pm. He didn't move until I gave him a soak at 7am this morning. He seemed to not mind the soak today. He actually dipped his head in a took about 3 gulps of water and half opened one eye.
I'm thinking that's an improvement. He wasn't interested in food, but I left some for him just in case.
I'm at work now so he's home alone. I was able to increase the temps in his enclusure, but the humidity is what I continue to struggle with. I've got it up a little, but everything dries up so quick.
I'll be checking on him later this afternoon (in about 5 hours) in hopes that he's not upside down again.
I'll continue to monitor him as close as I can over the new few days. Soaking him and keeping him as warm as possible. If he's not better by the end of the weekend he'll be seeing the vet on Monday which will be starting on the fortaz shots - I really hope it doesn't come to that.
In the mean time if anyone has any further advice I surely welcome it. And I'll post again with updates on how he's doing. And yes I will be posting pics of the little guy too.

Listen to Maggie also as she has helped Yvonne a lot with babies who get sick. They will get you through this if you listen and follow their instructions.
