Sickness Schmickness

Oh what an exciting first few weeks of summer we have had!  After a week of a fever over 103, a visit to the allergist for an MMR vaccine that didn't get to happen because of an ear infection, and a visit to the ER due to a 105 fever, we finally got Thomas a correct diagnosis from his pediatrician and the correct medicine.  The culprit- 2 ruptured ear drums, strep throat, and roseola oh my!  

This was our visit to the allergist.  Thomas clearly wasn't feeling well but at this point wasn't running a fever and really had no symptoms other than puffy eyes and congestion.  After a look at T's ears Dr. Chuo prescribed an antibiotic.  We continued the antibiotic despite Thomas running fever with it.  When he woke up with a rash a week later even after a visit to the ER we made a trip to the pediatrician and he was diagnosed with ruptured ear drums, strep and roseola and she changed his antibiotic because the other clearly wasn't working.

And after just a few days on the new medicine Thomas was finally feeling better!  Whew what a week(s) it was but so thankful our little guy is finally back to his happy self and feeling better.
