Well last night I really feel like I took a huge step moving up the ladder. I had my first real scare with Preston. I talked about his current ear infection a few days ago. His Dr decided to try out a new antibiotic and unfortunately it had a reverse effect on him. Yesterday was not a good day. Preston felt terrible and had fevers on and off. He got horrible cold symptoms and a pretty bad cough. He didn't want to be rocked or loved on but he didn't want to sit alone. He didn't want to eat or really drink either. I finally was able to calm him down around 8 pm in bed with me. He fell asleep with a 100.2 fever. About 30 minutes later his body started quivering and he was moaning in pain. I checked his temp and it had sky rocketed to 103.5. I honestly had never been more scared in my life. I immediately decided he needs to see a Dr and fast. My first thought was the ER. I scrolled through my phone to find my moms number and saw the PrimaCare number and called them. We made it there 10 minutes before they closed. The Dr checked his ears and throat and both were horribly infected. I told her he had been on Omnicef for 4 days now and she told us to stop taking that. She prescribed our go to drug for ear infections, the beloved Zpack. We got home around 10 last night and Preston drank a cup of water and went straight to sleep. This morning he woke up back to his fun, rambunctious self which was such a good sight to see.
The Mommy Club has so many awesome initiations and some scary ones. I have zero reservations about tubes, especially now.
