Sick day

 

Does this child look sick to you?

 Well….

Unfortunately  

He is. He’s had diarrhea pretty much all day :( He’s also been very congested (runny nose, green boogies, etc) with a low-grade fever. I took him to the Dr. this morning to be checked out because I could hear him coughing all night long. Then when he woke up this morning he had messed a diaper in his sleep, which he has never done and on top of that it was diarrhea.

So, after being seen by the doctor they determined he just had a cold and all the coughing is from “post nasal drip”. They gave us a prescription for an antihistamine (stronger than Benadryl) that will dry him up so the coughing will subside. No antibiotic though because the Dr. said that could make his tummy even more upset. I’m keeping him home from daycare again tomorrow just to be safe & the Dr. said that if he isn’t better by Saturday to give them a call! Hopefully this is just a little bug and it will be out of his system tomorrow. Even with being sick though, this little guy manages to keep a smile on his face :) Thank God tomorrow is Friday & its another long weekend!!
