Finnean just can't shake this fever. Michael took him to the doctor yesterday and he has double ear infection...but no H1N1 so that is good to hear-he got exposed this last weekend and it is at his daycare. He got antibiotics for the first time and we hoped he was on the mend. His fever never really got too much lower than 101 so we called the doctor this morning and they said that 101-102 is normal with ear infection but if it gets 103-104 he needs to be seen.
This afternoon it was like 99 so we thought he was getting better. He went down for his nap and slept like a rock, poor little guy, being sick is wearing him out!! When he woke up we noticed him getting goose bumps and then he got really warm we checked his temp and it was 104!!!! So Tylenol in and off to the urgent care. Luckily there weren't too many people there and even better not too many hacking people. He fever started going down, they told us stuff we already knew but they did check to make sure it was viral and it is. So we (mom and dad) will sleep better knowing that is most likely isn't H1N1, he had the test...not a fun experience and that it is not a bacterial infection that could have caused the spike in fever. We are hoping that the antibiotics kick in and start making this little guy feel better. On a positive note when we got home from the doctor he was all smiles and went down to sleep very easy!!!
We will keep you posted! We hope that all of you are feeling well and sickness doesn't have you down...it is exhausting!!
