Sick of being sick...

This last week has been troublesome. I was out of town on Tuesday for work and came home Wednesday to a baby that was starting to get sick. Wednesday night Max's fever started at about 101 degrees and spiked up to nearly 105 degrees even AFTER giving him medicine and would not break! We called the on-call pediatrician and they recommended that because his fever wouldn't come down and he was weezing to take him to Primary Children's Hospital. 

They took him in, gave him some more medicine and also tested him for RSV (a respiratory infection) which came back positive. So we took him home and were ready battle through it... or so we thought! 
Thursday was ok. 

Friday was ok. Until Friday night. His coughing got so bad he started to throw up pretty bad. And these days his fever was still always above 101 degrees and sometimes as high at 104 degrees.  We decided to take him in on Saturday to his doctor to see what was going on. His RSV has now caused an ear infection so he would need antibiotics -- this explained why the fever wouldn't drop. And because his cough was so bad, he was having problems breathing. They gave us a steroid inhaler for us to use over the next week or so. 

All of this has been really tough and tiresome for us all. Max has been quite the trooper through all of this. He is finally starting to feel better today, but is still being needy. We are hoping that he starts feeling better so we can get back to normal life. Or I suppose that this is normal life with kids.
