One sick boy, one tired momma!

After I talked to my ped on the phone, she is not in on Thursdays, she wanted him seen by another doctor in her office. The whole gamut of tests were run. Checking everything from viruses, to clots, to electrolyte imbalances. With him it could be any number of things. His chest x-ray does show pneumonia, so a shot of rocephin was given. Then we found out his strep test came back positive! That's a new one, Jax has never had strep before. My ped called tonight after talking with this other doctor. She's a little concerned about the strep and pneumonia together. She said if its strep above then its probably also strep below. So this may even go into his blood stream and require IV antibiotics. His abdominal x-ray does not show a bunch of stool in there, (just like I thought) but it does show a lot of air. Meaning that his bowels are not moving at all. So we've gone to continuous feeds for now, and we'll see how he does. Once again we've probably caught this early, since we watch him so close and know and when he's acting different. Its a good thing we did so we can start antibiotics, because this may be a nasty infection. But he may also probably get worse before he gets better. So we'll probably be back in the office tomorrow for another shot of rocephin and oral antibiotics. That is all depending on how the night goes!
He was really showing he didn't feel good today. He was telling me all about it!



We were in the office for 3 hours, I'm tired, and frankly a little discouraged. My "girl" shower is this weekend, and I just found yesterday that a bunch of people didn't get the evite, that's why not very many people RSVP'd. I know about 4 people that can't come, now Jax is sick! What do I do? Do we move the shower back a week? What about the people that are planning on coming? And we reserved the clubhouse at my aunts condo's.

Ei, Ei, Ei, drama, there's always drama!
