The pediatrician said her gut tells her it's a viral infection, but she did a urine cath and sent us for a blood culture to rule out anything bacterial that would require antibiotics. His ears were clear as well as his lungs. She called and the preliminary results show no growth -- so her thoughts are it's a virus. Jack also broke out in a small rash (a sure sign of viral infections). Jack is dehydrated and she told us to avoid getting ourselves admitted to the hospital we need to pump 2-4 ounces of pedialyte into him EVERY HOUR. She told us to give it with an oral syringe if needed. My poor baby is really not well -- I pray it passes soon. Also, to treat the fever she told us we can use one teaspoon of children's motrin every 6 hours. I am tired and spent from worry. I will keep you posted.
