Update on Liam

Okay so I took Liam back to the pediatrian Friday afternoon. He had been running a fever and just not feeling well. Well of course his ears were actually worse. He had been on the antibiotic, Bactrum, for 8 days at that point. He also had a very red irritated throat, a fever of 102.6, and very lethargic. So the Dr. also said he caught a mild version of the flu. This tends to be common in children this year that had the flu shot. I guess its better then the actual flu. At this point the pediatrician is just like what next. He did however put him on Zythromax(also known as the ZPack), to take for 5 days with the Bactrum!
He had his first ear infection was Dec. 4! And since then other then a day or two inbetween checkups he has been on 5 differnent antibiotics with basially no brake. We are doing everything possible to prevent further infections, but nothing is helping. I don't like how much tylenol and motrin we have had to give him either. But it is the only thing that will control the pain.
After reviewing his chart the Dr. came to the conclusion there is nothing more they can do for Liam. So he is sending us to an ENT to get him some tubes. The appointment is next Thurs morning. We are seeing Dr. Gavin who is Jarryds ENT. We really like him a lot. Although we have to travel to Albany Med I am very anxious to get to this appointment and find out what he thinks about all this. In the mean time, we are just waiting. Him and Maddie are both supposed to have Well Visits onThurs. Chances are Liams shots will be postponed b/c of the illness. But at least we can see how the ears are doing. I sure hope they are no worse.
