Well this week has been very tough, and yes, it is only Thursday! Since last Saturday, we have been to the doctor for Brody 3 times, and are going back today! Brody has been running a high fever since Tuesday evening, reaching 104.9, which scared me to death! I took him to the doctor on Tuesday night, and the doctor said "It's just viral", "his ears and throat look fine", "it's probably just a cold". Whatev! Yesterday, Wednesday, Brody stayed with my mom. She called me at work after lunch and told me his temperature was 104.9! I could not believe it. That sounds like a little more than a cold to me doctor! I called the doctor's office and they wanted him to come in. They checked his ears, and what do you know.........another ear infection! Probably the same one he has had for over a month! The doctor we saw was great, he is my favorite! He also included that the way his ear looked, it should have been obvious Tuesday night when they "checked" them. Anyway, they gave him a Rocephin shot, and he goes back again today for the other one. They also referred him to an ENT for tubes. We go next Wednesday to meet with the doctor. I am a little nervous, and I am sure I will be a mess the day he gets tubes, but I do think they are what is best for him. He deserves some relief! Chris and I both carry Brody on both of our insurance's, so this will be a blessing I am sure!
