Jack woke up Saturday morning with a high fever and vomiting -- this is after he's been FINE for several days after being dxed with an ear infection. As soon as he started his meds for that he was totally back to normal -- had an awesome week at school and BAM, hit AGAIN on Saturday.His fever was 100-102.5 on and off through the night and so far today it seems to be responding to Motrin/Tylenol. He also hasn't vomited since Saturday. He was coughing early this morning -- so maybe he's got something viral on top of the infection.
DH and I were paralyzed with fear -- we thought he would have another seizure for sure and yet he didn't (thank GOD). It was a very low key day yesterday and today for that matter. One of us has kept an eye on Jack the whole time.
I am not sending him to school tomorrow and I plan on calling the ped to get her thoughts. I don't think she'll see him quite yet, but who knows. Please keep your fingers crossed he can get through this illness without seizures.
He used to be such a healthy kiddo! 2007 has NOT been his year...
Thanksgiving 2006 -- Ear infection
Christmas 2006 -- Ear infection
First week in January 2007 -- MRI shows deep ear infection
Second week in January 2007 -- Apnea/Brady during sedation/Botox
Last week in January 2007 -- High fever, vomiting, grand mal seizure, pneumonia -- 911/ER trip
Second week in February 2007 -- Low grade fevers, kidney infection, admitted for several days of antibiotic treatment/tests
Mid March 2007 -- Fever, vomiting, grand mal seizure
Last week of March 2007-- Ear and throat infection
Last weekend of March -- Fever, vomiting possible cold/viral illness
Let's hope Spring and Summer are kinder to him. I can't believe he's been so healthy in spite of being a 25 weeker and now at 4 years old he comes down with EVERYTHING under the sun. I can't fully blame it on school either because he was fine last year?
Anyway, just wanted to vent a little. I'll keep you posted.
I'm so sorry! I hope he gets better and no more seizures. HUGS!
ReplyDeleteHi Bubba!
ReplyDeleteDo you know that soon you're going to be the subject of some Doctor's article about the little boy that just keeps bouncing and bouncing and bouncing back! Just like your Tigger! AND--we're SO glad you do! I personally think it's so you get all the pretty nurses attention and tender loving care! Hey, whatever works, right? Just keep bouncing back, you are going to have a pretty little sister soon that is going to need a healthy big brother to show her the ropes. Boy are Mommy and Daddy in for some trouble then! Good trouble, of course!
Hope this message finds you feeling all better and full of that Jack Riley energy that wears us all out.
Hope to see you soon Bubba,
Love you
Grammie
PS: You too Princess Bean! You're almost done bakin'
OH goodness! I hope so too!
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for NO seizures! Goodness.
Yes, 07, hasn't been such a delight, yet, now has it!
Here are to better, illness free days!
Oh my! I can't believe that you are going through this still/again. Sending good healthy vibes to you and Jack!
