Update on Jack

Happy Valentine's Day!

We have a busy day ahead of us. We need to clean house and go to the store for ingredients for tonight. Tina is babysitting, and we are going to Mel and Floyd's house to make fondue. Then we will either go to the comedy club in the area or go to a movie.

Now, about Jack. He ran a fever from Sunday until Wednesday. It finally broke Wednesday morning and has not come back. However, with the fever broken the rash came on. He got a rash from Omnicef (his antibiotic). I didn't let this stress me out because the same thing happened to Trent. Since he was better, he went to daycare on Thursday and Friday.

After school on Friday, I picked up both boys and headed to Collierville to Dr. Ellis. We made an appointment to recheck Jack's ears. Well, they are STILL infected. So now here is the plan. Dr. Ellis changed his antibiotic to Augmentin. It is the strongest antibiotic he can put him on, and it is in the Penicillin family. We started it last night. I have to take him back to see Dr. Ellis on Monday 2/23 for another recheck. If he is still infected, we will be referred to an ENT. If he is well, then we will wait and see how long until he develops another infection. If it is months, then we are ok. If it is just a couple of weeks, then we go to the ENT.

I know that we have a lot of blessings to count, but I just want my sweet baby Jack back. He is not sleeping well at night which makes our whole family tired. I am ready for him to be well and resting like he used to before he started daycare. :(
