So, M's LM has been more red the last few days...But it's always changing, so sometimes it's hard to tell what on earth is going on. Called the Ped about the redness in the morning, he wanted to see us and got us in 3:30. Yay!
By noon he was running "warm".. 99.0, by 2pm he was fussy and totally uncooperative for therapy. Huge waste of time. By 3:45 he was 99.8, and when the Ped thought he felt warmer than that at 4:15, he was 101.3. WHOA! Half hour, degree and a half!
Tylenol gave the fever a kick in the pants. Phew. it's creeping up again, though.. We'll see what tonight brings. We were sent home w/ orders for 20 MORE days of antibiotics. (this is course number 5 since May 10...) i pushed for i.v. antibiotics, but he said they only really work faster, not necessarily better. As long as the fever stays not ridiculously high (my words, not his, lol!) we'll do these antibiotics. And, if this doesn't solve the problem, we're not sure what to do next, that's a Cincy question. Poor little boys belly!
Man, it's frustrating to go around and around w/ this infection. Hopefully he doesn't have two things brewing... we don't need that! He's seemed better since the fever has been down.
