Ouch! Too many shots!

Poor Max! He had quite a weekend. I had to pick him up from childcare at 4 on Friday because he had a high temp. By the time we got to the doctor at 6 pm it was 102.5. He was not happy nor was he doing particularly well. It's this darn ear infection which he still had despite having 3 sets of antibiotics over the past month and a half. They gave him ibuprofen to help the fever and it helped but he was not happy taking it. Then he got Rocephin injections for the ear infection. I don't know if you've ever had to do this but it's two shots given simultaneously in the thighs and it's a dose a day for three days.

Friday was the first day and he got his last shot Sunday. Poor guy! He did not LIKE the shot at all. He cried so pitifully it made me sad. By the time we got to the shot portion of our visit on Sunday, he was totally in the know. As soon as he saw two ladies in the room with us and they got out the cotton balls it was a sad, sad wail from Max. It is so awful to have to hold them down. I sure hope this clears up his ear infection. I thought it had gotten rid of the fever but he was still over 100 yesterday at his check-up. Hopefully, it will have totally kicked in with the last shot. His digestive system is kinda shot and I can't imagine how it will be if he gets ANOTHER round of antibiotics. We have a check-up on Tuesday and we'll see where to go from there. If it isn't cleared up by then, we have to head to the ENT and then the possibility of tubes in the ears is on our horizon. Ugh!

Think good thoughts for our little guy. Here he is after his shots on Saturday. The most amazing thing is that he's still such a good sport even with all the poking and jabbing. He must get that from Dan...



Notice the sweater. It's finally cooling down. Yeehaw! I love fall.
