5 out of 6

We are getting closer to that 6 ear infections in a year (5 infections in the past 6 months). We spent 5 hours at the clark memorial urgent care center on Saturday. Some may say, were they that busy?, No. We were being seen for 5 hours. When we got there Brayden had a temp of 104 and they could not get it to come down. He looked absolutely miserable, one of the nurses said that there were several people that were in the waiting room with us that kept asking if he was ok. He received 2 doses of tylenol, a dose of motrin and a shot of rocephin before his temp started to come down enough where they were comfortable letting us leave. We also had blood work (cbc, blood culture), and a chest xray done while we were there. We should know the results of those tomorrow since he has to be rechecked by our pediatrician tomorrow...........hopefully he will refer us to the ear, nose, and throat doctor. He also got put on omnicef our favorite antibiotic because of the wonderful side effects. Good thing we just got diapers at sams, cause we will definetly be going through them this week.

Good Luck! Cooper just had tubes put in last week and he did great. It's just a simple procudure. So far he has been much happier.
