well.. a week before christmas and the flu has found noah. Not nice!
started last monday, a week ago with a regular cold.. tue vomiting all evening and fever. wed h/a, diarrhea and fever. complaining that it hurts to walk up the stairs. thur back to vomiting and still a fever. friday we go to the dr.. diagnosed with flu. crap.. too late for tamiflu. (has to be within first 48 hrs). gets worse sat night with higher fever and c/o left ear pain. never had ear infection before.
went to dr beal (on call) sun morning. was miserable and wicked crabby.. whiney and all. ear red, no puss. gave amox and now on motrin and tylenol around the clock. after 3 doses of amox, seems to be feeling better. last night he was so whiney and miserable but after a full night of sleep, still doing better. and staying dry at night.
praise god for drs, 24 hr pharmacies, motrin and tylenol and tv. can't imagine poor people, single mothers without help or countries in poverty not having the things we do to get through. even back 100 years ago.. we are so blessed and fortunate to have the luxaries that we have now. and I am so glad noah does not have any underlying medical conditions like asthma that would have landed him in the hospital.
praying he gets better soon. but I think he is on his way!
