Though,honestly, the day hasn't been bad...there have just been moments that are hard. I am still in mental recovery from the ER visit this weekend. I know most people can deal with things in a day or two, but I take a little longer...and come to find out we are throwing PMS into this mix and I am kinda surprised I haven't been committed to a padded room yet, or gained 15 pounds....and the boy's family (birthday) party is this weekend, my house is a TRAIN WRECK!
Here's when my mental "train" derailed....about the time that the boy, who has been on clindamycin for 72 hours spiked a 101 fever.....only 5 hours since he last had motrin. I dosed him again and an hour later he was 102.6 :( Poor baby was just shaking and shivering. I got him to take his antibiotic on the first try which he promptly threw up 5 minutes later :(
I have already called his pediatrician and we get to call after 8 am to make an appointment to see him tomorrow. This could be related to the finger injury, however, it's possible we have a stomach virus in addition to the finger injury as his smaller brother did the same thing Sunday night. When the little one did it, we chalked it up to the vaccines he had gotten about 48 hours before and the chaos and sunburn of Saturday....maybe not....
Oh and we leave for vacation in 10 days in Tampa....where the tropical storm is located currently. And I know the storm will be long gone, but this is the 4th named storm and the "season" just started 25 days ago.....now I am really glad I shelled for the trip insurance!
*SIGH*
After a visit to the regular pediatrician we are pretty sure it's a viral thing. Today he's better, meds down, some food and drink down. Fever hanging at 100 or so....tomorrow we visit the Ortho clinic.....praying that things are healing well and that he can get it wet, at least a little bit :)
