Just One of Those Weeks

A week of worrying about my son. And it's not over. Friday we finally got confirmation that his high fevers were definitely because of an ear infection. A double ear infections. A very bad double ear infection. The doctor had switched his antibiotic from Augmenten to Omnicef. And finally there was relief. He had been fever free for two days. Still not eating the greatest and a wobbly walker and fussy and sleepy, but no more fever and none of those other symptoms have been as bad. Then today he got up with little tiny red dots all over his face and back with a few on his chest and arms. As the day progressed his face and back has gotten worse and he's getting more spots on his chest and arms and legs. This is my poor speckled frog right here:




I called the on call doctor this morning who said stop the omnicef and call his doctor in the morning to let her know his reaction. He said she might want to put him on another course of antibiotic to finish the round she might not. I'm guessing she'll want him to get more than two doses of an antibiotic. Especially since the infection didn't go away with a course of Amoxicillin and the Augmenten didn't even touch it. With how bad she said the infection was she better call in another antibiotic. Not sure what else is left at this point. But the ear infection drama continues...
