Right now he's in his room listening to Macaday Kids 100 Silly Songs and dancing and smiling. So I'd say he's not exactly down and out.
Oh, wow, I spoke TOO SOON. As I was typing this update Jack started wailing...and when I went to him he asked me "uppa" which means pick me up. When I did he felt really warm -- so I gave him some medicine and rocked him a little and off to sleep he went. I changed my mind! I am taking him back to Priority Care when he wakes up. I just want to be on the safe side -- if it turns out to still be a viral thing that's great! But if he does have an infection he needs antibiotics. So I must hop in the shower and get ready to go.
I'll post an update when we get back!
(of all weeks for his pediatrician to be on vacation!!!! ugh...)
UPDATED:
We're back! Jack didn't have anything that jumped out at the Dr. His left ear was red...and his nodes and glands were swollen. He put him on a 5 day antibiotic and also did a strep test. Jack developed a rash on his chest which resembled the strep rash -- so in any case he put him on meds. We'll find out about the strep test tomorrow.
Thanks
-- I will keep you posted!
POOR JACK!! POOR MOMMY!! You've had a heck of a week, haven't you? Poor little guy, the weathers so nice and he's sick and stuck in the house. Isn't that the way it usually goes. Hopefully, it is just viral, but as I learned last year, viral isn't all that great either!! Better to be able to take medicine and feel better alot sooner than playing the waiting game and hoping it goes away on it's own. I'm sure it's just a matter of time and he'll be feeling great again.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to give us an update when you get back and are all settled in at home. We'll be keeping our fingers crossed for good news!!
