The picture pretty much sums up our week last week. All three kids are on antibiotics to clear up some infection.
It all started with the Baby, who came home from school on Friday with incredibly gunky eyes. By Sunday, he wasn’t sleeping well, had snot in basically every hole in his head, and had a fever. I took him to the doctor for an ear check. He had been playing and eating pretty well, so I wasn’t too concerned.
Well, the little dude had a really high fever, double ear infection, double eye infection, and rattling in his chest. The doctor thought it was most likely pneumonia and he needed a chest X-ray. She also said that we would most likely be at the doctor’s office everyday for the next few days to check out our little angel.
But first, he was given a shot in the office since he was in such bad shape and we had to stay for a little while so they could monitor him. He HATED that shot. It seemed like the nurse was pushing medication into him for 5 minutes. It was horrible!
We ventured over to the hospital for a chest X-ray. We were sent to the emergency room since it was a Sunday. Of course, the little baby hated being strapped into a gigantic test tube with his arms yanked straight up over his head.
So, as the doctor instructed, I took my baby to our regular wonderful doctor the next day. Thankfully, little Baby had improved greatly, so we didn’t have to go back anymore!!!
After returning home from the hospital on Sunday, Sugie complained of a sore throat, which was very red, swollen, and covered with white spots, and had a fever. So, she went to the doctor with me and Baby on Monday. She had strep throat.
On Tuesday, Buddy complained of a sore throat and had a mild fever. He was also talking funny! So, he went for his strep test and it was positive. Of course it was! He and Sugie had shared a drink last Saturday. He also had impetigo, a skin infection.
So, the kids are on numerous medications and creams to clear up their latest ailments. Whew! What a week it was!
