Sicklings Update

Well one of my little sicklings is much better. Cason finally stopped running a fever on Monday afternoon and he is feeling better, eating better, and has gotten his energy back. They called us yesterday afternoon to let us know that Cason's strep culture came back negative. So his VERY high fever was from a viral infection, not from strep. They want us to keep him on the antibiotics anyway since he was exposed to strep that way he can stay well.

Poor Corbin has had a rough weekend. First, he had shots on Friday, then strep throat/scarlet fever on Saturday, Sunday his rash was gone and he was feeling a little better, and then on Monday he caught big brother's virus and started running a fever.  Corbin ran a fever most of Monday and then Tuesday morning around 3:00 am he woke up with a fever of 103---poor baby! He's been very fussy and running a high fever so we took him to our regular doctor's office this morning. They said it looks like he caught big brother's virus and then on top of that his left ear is very infected. Dr. G told us that Corbin had fluid in his ears on Friday when we were there but they weren't infected yet and he didn't want to put him on antibiotics unless he had to because of what happened last time with the penicillin. When we were at the after hours place on Saturday, the doctor told us there was still fluid in his ears and that his left ear was very red and starting to get infected. She said the antibiotics that she was putting him on for the strep would clear up his ears as well. Well apparently the antibiotics they put us on are very effective for strep but sometimes not effective on ear infections and in Corbin's case they didn't help his ear infection at all so it continued to get worse. So they switched our antibiotic today and hopefully this one will clear up his ears and continue to clear up the strep-----AND we pray that he does not have an allergic reaction to it. Poor baby feels awful!!!

Oh and both sicklings have upset tummies from their antibiotics---it's a real party over at our house---LOL

Please pray for healing and comfort for these precious babies
