Progression

Here is how the last week went in pictures.

I knew something wasn't right when he slept ALL day on Monday. Poor kid ended up getting worse and worse. I took him in on Friday of last week for them to tell me that his ears looked great and they think the reason for his cold symptoms were from teething. Then over the weekend things slowly continued to get worse. On Sunday, he slept for 5 hours (3 hrs in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon). That is unheard of for him. Then on Monday, he didn't wake up most of the day. I took him back in Monday night and they started him on a nebulizer for his breathing and augmentin for a horrible ear infection only for the pharmacy to close before we could get the perscriptions. We hoped to make it until the next morning because he had another appointment at 9am on Tuesday with his pediatrition. I didn't sleep all night because I was worried about his temperature that was hanging around 101 and by 1am it was up to about 102-103. He was on ibuprohen and tylenol every 3 hours but it didn't seem to touch the fever. By 2am his fever was 104.8 so we headed to the ER. Once we got in his o2 levels were right around 80-81. They started him on oxygen and an iv right away and took some blood work, x-rays, and swabbed his nose. Sure enough RSV showed up right away and a small part on his lungs showed possible pnemonia along with an ear infection that was ready to burst. Poor thing was a mess!

We went back in today for a check up before the weekend and he has lost almost 3 pounds. He's back down to 22 lbs 11 oz. Now we are worried about weight gain again. If it's not one thing, it's another!!! We go back in a week for yet another appointment to make sure his weight is going back up. Hoping he will be able to keep some food in him over the weekend!!
