Sick Again

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would be going to the doctor three times in one week. Monday we went for Joshua's well-baby check-up, which he looked amazingly well and she is very pleased that he is growing and thriving.

Then the next day he develops a nasty cough that we just brush off to all the moving and kicking up dust. My nose has been extremely, painfully, dry for the past couple of weeks so this was not good. Well, on Thursday Joshua's temperature shot up to 103.2, the highest it has ever been. He was burning up to the touch and very cranky. I called the office and they got us in that afternoon. We went for an x-ray of his chest again because he had limited, shallow, breathing in his right lung. All came back clear. He was tested for RSV and the Flu, both of which were negative. She asked us to come back the next day to see how he was and make sure it wasn't getting worse.

So after being up most of the night and sleeping on the blow-up bed in the living room with my little man in nothing but his diaper to get his temp down, I set off for the doctors office again today. His cough is now phlemy sounding, but supposedly a good thing. Apparently he is on the mend.

I stopped at Cornicopia (a health food store) and picked up some Silver Biotics. They boost the immune system naturally and will knock the cold out within 36 hours. I hope he is well by Sunday to catch the last meeting with the North San Marcos Congregation and then the Memorial on Tuesday night.
