Well, we had to go back to the Emerg. J was still really feverish and irritable, and nothing was helping. Also, he had started to vomit a bit, and he wasn't wanting to eat or drink anything. I feared he was becoming dehydrated. His pedi couldn't fit him in, so we headed to Emerg.
J's fever was 40.3. Both his ears are now infected. He has been started on an antibiotic. So now, he gets Tylenol for the fever, drops for the pain, and antibiotic for the infection. He was dehydrated, but not enough to be alarmed. And so we got to take our little man home without further issue.
He needs to be re-checked in a couple of days, so I will try to get him into his pedi so that we don't have to wait at Emerg again. If he's still not doing better in a couple of days, further testing may be in order. They nearly ran the further testing today. It would have consisted of: bloodwork, a urinalysis (catheter insertion), and a repeat chest x-ray. Fortunately, the doctors decided all that testing was unnecessary at this stage. Yay, J!!
Man oh man, I hope the little tyke feels better soon.

Poor J! I hope he feels better soon. I hope H & you feel better soon also.
It sucks when the little people are sick! Try not to get too exhausted yourself.
