My Sick Little Babe

Cameron taking a nap in the big boy bed. The only way he was able to be consoled at the time.

Last week was awful for Cameron. He had double ear infections that were causing vomiting and really high fevers. He went to the doctor last Monday and got some antibiotics. On Thursday, he was still not doing better at all. In fact, he was crying about every ten minutes grabbing his ears and was still running a high fever. He also had ate nothing all day and had only had 2 wet diapers. At about 8:00pm Thursday night, Rian and I couldn't take it anymore. He was inconsolable, in pain and had a fever. We decided that we couldn't wait for the doctor in the morning, so we took him to the Emergency Room at the Children's Hospital at Parker.

It was so sad. The nurses had to literally pry his mouth open to check his throat, give him a strep test, force fluids down his throat and give him medicine. Awful. I cried. Multiple times. He didn't have strep thankfully, but he did need a new antibiotic because the first one wasn't doing the trick. He also got some numbing drops for his ears to help him get a bit of uninterrupted painful sleep.

We finally got to go home about 11:30pm. The next day he did a bit better and has been feeling a bit better ever since. However, it was one hard week for all of us. We are still trying to catch up on sleep.

At the hospital reading "Hug Time." Cameron's favorite book.
