Poor Jack has been sick again this week. He can't catch a break from all the sickness. He seems to be fine when he's out of daycare but when he goes back to the germ pool he is usually sick again.
Jack slept great at the beginning of the week and he didn't show any signs of sickness so I was hoping he turned a corner and sleeping through the night was becoming routine. Unfortunately I got a call on my way to pick up the kids on Wednesday afternoon. Jack had a fever of 103.8. He definitely had a fever but I honestly don't think it was that high because it was only 100.3 when we got home and he hadn't had any Tylenol.
Ryan stayed home with Jack on Thursday and he seemed to be doing better. His temp was down, he was eating and not as lethargic……so we sent him back to daycare on Friday. The fever spiked again on Friday so I took him to the dr. He was diagnosed with an ear infection and red/sore throat. The dr gave us a new, stronger prescription - Cefdiner, in hopes that would help get rid of the ear infection and have him back to feeling better fast since his 1st birthday was this weekend.
Unfortunately Jack thew up both times we tried to give him the antibiotics. It was a tough time at our house as Madelyn spiked a fever as well. She had her head on my lap at dinner and complained of being cold. Poor thing, she was sick too.
Thankfully Kenny & Emily were here to help!! They were up to celebrate Jack's 1st birthday and as always they were a huge help with the kiddos!
Saturday morning we got a prescription for Amoxicillin and now Jack could be on his way to feeling better. It definitely wasn't the quickest recovery as it took until Wed until Jack was feeling better and swallowing, which felt like forever, and then by Thursday Jack had that sparkle in his eye which we were all waiting for!
