Long Week

This was a rough week for all of us. It started off with Luke getting Thrush, which was caused by the antibiotic he was taking for his ear infection. Brad brought the medicine for that to daycare, but he swallowed some of it and it made him sick. So Brad had to take him home for the day and he had to stay home the next day too. Luckily he didn't get sick again. So on Wednesday he went back to daycare and things were looking better, even though his cough still sounded bad and his runny nose had returned. On Thursday afternoon the daycare called and said he had a rash all over his body and that he got sick again so we had to pick him up. I was really nervous about this rash so I made an after hours doctor's appointment for him that night. When I picked him up he had red dots all over his body. The nurse practitioner who saw him said the rash was a side effect of the antibiotic, but it was nothing to worry about. She also said his ear infection was still bad, so we had to get a different antibiotic. He also had a really bad cold. They let him use a nebulizer while we were there and that helped his breathing alot. They gave us one to take home too. He was cleared to go to daycare the next day, but when Brad tried to drop him off they told us he needed a note from the doctor to return. We didn't have one so Brad went to pick one up, but by that time Luke seemed to be feeling pretty bad. Brad decided to stay home with him so he could get some good rest and alot of TLC. It was a good move because the poor little guy just slept on Brad most of the day and hardly ate anything. Let's hope next week is alot less eventful!

He is doing better today, but he still has a little while to go. On a positive note he tried some home made sweet potatoes tonight and he really liked them.
