I know I have been talking for weeks about LB being sick and I'm sure you all are tired of hearing about it. But I really just thought it was just a cold from the weather going from 70* to 20* in two days. I figured he would get over it once the weather picked a temperature and stayed there. Needless to say it was not just a cold but a sinus infection on the brinks of becoming an ear infection. I finally called the doctor on Thursday and took him in. Seriously felt like the worst mom because he had a 102.2* fever when they checked and I had no clue. I mean I guessed something was wrong because he woke up at 2am the night before and would not go to bed and was super cuddly all day long but I did not suspect a fever at all. We even checked it twice and it was only 99*. You think I'd know he had a fever but the little guy is always warm to the touch and he is still just as playful with a fever. Even the nurse commented on how happy he looked for having such a high temp. I guess it is a good thing I finally took him in and got everything checked over.
But now he is on the dreaded pink medicine. I really do not like that stuff. I even asked the doctor if there was any way we could treat without the drugs, but she said since he has been fighting it for three weeks now and has a high fever we had to do drugs. Boo.
Here is what LB thinks of it:
He locks his jaw and seals his lips as tight as he can. It is quite funny and I don't blame him that stuff is gross. Unless your my husband who actually likes the taste of it but he also enjoys black licorice so he is not the best judge of taste. (Sorry if you also love black licorice but being honest and all I think it taste gross) So yes, it is quite the fight to get the medicine now. Any tips out there experienced pink medicine moms?
My other least favorite part of the medicine are all the dreaded blow outs. Yesterday he had such a horrible one I wanted to throw him in the tub, but couldn't because hubs was knee deep in fixing our kitchen sink so I had no hot water. Instead I used a billion wipes and soapy wash clothes to wipe LB clean. I am stuffing him full of probiotics in hopes that it curbs a little bit of the liquid poo. We will see if they start working, but no luck yet. Oh and apparently another side effect is projectile vomiting and we had our fair share of that one last night. Although W thinks it is due to the broccoli he tried and "choked" down but I really think its from the medicine. In any case I am glad we were in our kitchen which is one of the only rooms without carpet and that LB projected on W's feet not mine!
I hate to end my post talking about bodily fluids but really that's been whats going on in my house the last 4 days and will probably be what is going on for the next week. Try hard not to be too envious of me! :)
