My poor sweety

[darthtiggger]

Chris has had such a rough week. It started on Saturday when he tripped on my foot in the grocery store and faceplanted knocking out two teeth. Baby teeth and there is no damage to his adult teeth coming in which is good, but such a horrible way to lose his first teeth. Trip to the ER, we seem to be visiting there a lot lately. He was a trooper, so brave. To the dentist on Monday for exrays. Then Tuesday at school he falls and bonks his sore mouth again, no more damage, just not a happy camper. Needs mom so I go pick him up. We are worried about his falling repeatedly so we make him an appointment to his see doctor the next day. He seems a bit sniffly and is starting to cough some- could be allergies, could be the start of a cold. Then he gets sick Tuesday night around ten. This is not unusual for him, he has stress induced asthma and will sometimes have that reaction if he is having trouble breathing and is coughing a lot. We give him a breathing treatment and he conks out again. Jeff takes him to the doctor on Wednesday, Jeff works from home on Wednesdays, so he can stay with him for the day. Turns out he has a really bad ear infection- antibiotics and he should be all good right? One would think, hope even that he'll be feeling better after this. The antibiotics seem to be helping, Thursday morning he gets up feeling a bit better, his mouth is less swollen and he is in good spirits. We keep him home on Thursday, he gets to stay with Gramma and he seems to be doing better. Thursday night we give him a breathing treatment and some Motrin because he has started running a fever, he goes to sleep no problem. Wakes up around 4 to get sick again, fever is now 100.9 and he has fallen asleep on the couch. I will be home with him today. My poor boy.

On the plus side the tooth fairy is extremely generous in situations like these. I am going to try to sleep a bit more now...
