Justin has been home from daycare since last Wednesday. I called the ENT several times and they kept saying that his symptoms were normal for adenoid removal. Well on Friday they called him in an antibiotic because I had called again saying how awful his drainage was. Big mistake on my part- I should have taken him in to see them.
Friday night was awful - his cough was so bad. I ended up at my friend Shannon's on Saturday morning (she's a doctor) and then we headed to the pediatrician. They think he has RSV. They didn't do the test but his symptoms are all pointing in that direction. And - his tubes are blocked. He has an ear infection and I didn't know it because the tubes are supposed to start draining fluid when he has an infection - and they are blocked.
We are heading to the ENT tomorrow to get his ears cleaned up and seeing the pediatrician for his one year appointment. I'm looking forward to talking through everything with the pediatrician just to make sure we're on the right track.
When I called daycare today they said they have 4 babies with RSV - one was in the hospital all last week. So - I guess we know where he picked it up. I'm thankful it's not worse than it is - but I really can't wait for him to get over this. It is awful to not be able to do anything to make him feel better.
