My Poor Baby!!!

Wednesday around 1:00 we realized that Carter has not had a BM pretty much all day.  He seriously went from blowing out of his diaper like 5 times a day to not at all.  Weird.  But he was still playing and laughing so we thought we would give him a little more time to go on his own.  Well yesterday around 1:00 he was laughing and playing again and acted like nothing was bothering him.  Then literally 15 minutes later he was screaming, running 103.3 fever and breaking out in a rash.  ANNNDD he still is very congested.  he has not breathed out of his nose good for a week and has been congested for about 3 months.  And constipated.  So we call the doc and he makes room for us at 2:45 so he could have a look at him.

They did tests to see if it was RSV or the flu and they sent him back for yet another chest x ray. Third one!!  RSV and flu came back negative and his chest and lungs are inflamed.  So they sent us home with something to help him use the bathroom and another round of antibiotics (that's very thick and very very nasty tasting....so you can imagine how hard it was to get it down him).

We have an appointment at Children's Hospital at the Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor on Feb. 16.  We were going to have to wait 5 months to get in there but my doc pulled some strings for us.

We had a horrible night last night and the only way he can sleep is in his swing because that's how he breaths the best.  But this morning he had the biggest BM of his life.  Praise the Lord!!!  It was allllll over him.  I was happy though.  I know he had to be miserable without having one in nearly 2 days.  He still has fever but we are giving him Tylenol every 4 hours on the dot.  Even with all of this going on, Carter is still a happy baby and I am counting my lucky stars for that.  I know it could be so much worse!!
