Update on M&W

Published by Kerry | Filed under Uncategorized

Wes felt really warm when he woke this morning, and we took his temp – it was 101.2, so back to the pediatrician we went.  Along with having RSV, our poor little dude has a double ear infection, and his temp was up to 102.3 (just two hours later).  Thankfully, Max’s temp is staying down (when the doc took it, it was 99), and there are no signs of an ear infection.  Dr. N sent us home with a Rx of antibiotics twice a day (bubblegum flavored!), and alternating Motrin and Tylenol to try to coax the fever down. 

Now we wait.

If Wes’s temp starts climbing slowly (or fast, for that matter), and it gets near 104, we skip the pediatrician and go straight to Children’s Hospital (which thankfully, is literally right down the street from us).  Of course we’re hoping we won’t have to go this route, but I’m scared.  Really scared.  The only thing that’s really calming me down right now is the fact that Wes’s oxygen saturation was at 95%, which is CRAZY good for having RSV along with another infection.

Please, please, please say a little prayer that our little Weston is going to be okay.  I seriously don’t know if I can handle him (or Max for that matter) being in the hospital again.

I’ll update later today…
