FEVER ! !

Dylan is getting more teeth, finally, he has had the two he has got for almost two months with no more until now. But this weekend was the worse I have seen him get yet. On Monday we took him into the Doctor because four weeks ago we took him in because he wasn't feeling very good, and to our surprise he had a double ear infection. So we gave him his antibiotic and he got feeling better. Then a week after that we took him back in because he still wasn't up to par. The infection had gone away in his right ear but had stayed in his left. so the Dr. gave us a stronger dose of medicine and told us to use it all up (11 1/2 days) and come back in two weeks when he was done with his medicine and check his ears to make sure all the infection was gone. So last Monday we went back in and it's a good thing we did, Dylan got over his ear infection but now had croup. So no antibiotic this time just a steroid to help his lungs stay clear. He was on the steroid for three days. So Wednesday he was off medicine and doing okay, he still was really clingy and didn't like when he couldn't see me, so I just thought that it was a phase he was going through and thought nothing much more of it. Then Friday we were at Molly's and I went to get him from his nap, and he was really hot, Molly took his temperature while I held him and it was 101.2. While I held him Molly looked and saw that his two top teeth were starting to come in, so we hoped that that is what caused the fever. That night was horrible, he was up every two hours, just a crying and screaming, you would pick him up and he was right back asleep. You could tell he just hurt. Then on Saturday he was like that all day with a fever ranging from 102 to 101. And finally about midnight his fever broke. He slept the rest of the night and woke up about 9:00. I took his temperature this morning and it was 98 degrees. So much better then it was. He is still real clingy but the left tooth has finally poked a little corner through. So we are much happier tonight but he is still very tired.
