2:15am
Here it is, 2:15am and I am sitting up worrying like crazy about Jaxon. I just got him back to sleep but now I can't sleep. He has had a fever on and off for several days now and he has a really bad cough that makes him throw up sometimes cause he coughs so hard. He woke up this time coughing really bad so I went to get him and comfort him only to find that he was burning up as well. I gave him some medicine but after a few min's he started coughing so hard again that he threw up a little bit. So did all the medicine come up? Should I give him more? If it didn't come up, giving him more could be really dangerous. I have called his "primary care physician" who has never met Jaxon because he has only been to one well visit here and apparently even though they made the appointment - the doctor was not taking new patients, so Jaxon was checked by the nurse. I hate not having a good personal relationship with a doctor. We LOVED Jaxon's doctor in Utah and were very sad we would be loosing him. So now here I am... waiting for the on call doctor to call me back while I sit and worry like crazy about my sweet boy in the next room who, for now, is sleeping and hopefully having good dreams.

So sorry. I don't know if you believe in ibprofen and tylenol, but I gave Elise one of those every three hours. It helped her to drop her fever really well. Coughs and runny noses are a little more complicated. A humidifier works well and elevating their heads will help with the coughing. I've had a couple illnesses where I coughed so hard I'd throw up. It's NO fun.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Lisa, I'm so sorry. I hate when doctors don't return calls. Hopefully you heard from one by now. We had a smiliar incident with Owen, he had a horrible cold for almost 4 weeks! Finally a doctor gave him a 10-day prescription of amoxicillian and he was fine after that. Hopefully Jaxon can just have some antibiotics too and be fine. It's so tough when your little one is sick. You do everything you can to help them, but nothing works. I hope he feels better soon! Love you!
