i'm ready for the sickness to be gone!

it has been a horrible weekend!

aiden has been so sick - running a fever since saturday morning and i really wasn't able to get it down all that well.  we went to immediate care on sunday and they diagnosed him with strep (even though they didn't do a strep test) and put him on an antibiotic. sunday night aiden woke up with a fever of 105 (by ear) and when i gave him meds to help him feel better he threw them up and it was boiling hot! we left immediately for the ER - it was 10:50pm.

we didn't really wait all that long, which was nice - his rectal temp was 104.3 and they gave him tylenol - they did a strep test and chest x-ray - strep came back negative and there were some spots on his lungs - not quite pneumonia - but almost.  his fever was down to 101 and they gave him an antibiotic shot and a steroid and we had to wait to make sure he didn't have a reaction to the antibiotic.  we both fell asleep on the ER bed (most uncomfortable hospital bed in the world!) and then when they came back to check on us 30 min. later his fever was down to 99 (yay!) and no reaction to the meds - so we could go home and just had to follow up with our regular doctor in the morning... and we arrived home at 3:00am.

8:00am  - he wakes up! and is screaming and doesn't want to calm down.... i honestly do not remember what calmed him down - but i do remember that eventually he drinks his milk and watches some cartoons (all on my lap) and eventually falls back asleep - until i screw it up and try to lay down which pisses him off.....

we go to the doctor's office at 11am - eh, nothing much to write home about - continue the meds - blah blah blah

home by 12:30pm to nap... which only lasts 1 hour

UGH!!!

i really hope he sleeps well tonight - although we have to be back at the doctor at 8am tomorrow for Hep A shot

i need to go to sleep...
