The Last Place We Want To Go

Landon was up all last night crying (ALL last night, we got maybe 60 minutes of sleep) and this morning he had a temperature of 101.4 and was refusing his bottle. We called the pediatrician who said to keep him hydrated and watch the temperature. We called her back when it went up to 103.1 despite Motrin and Tylenol, his breathing was rapid and shallow, and he was lethargic. The doctor told us to head to the ER, a place we never, ever wanted to go again, especially here.

I'm not so much concerned with everything I was supposed to be getting done today (and tomorrow and the surgery we may have to reschedule again next week), I just hate walking back in a hospital with him. Send good thoughts.

  1. Good thoughts headed your way for a quick, easy, and sane recovery for Landon -- and your nerves. Also, good thoughts for the beastly Dr. K being nowhere near Landon, and for you getting into be seen quickly!

  4. Ack, poor baby and poor parents. Can you take him to a different hospital maybe? Hope he gets great care, quick answers and recovers soon! Why do babies always pick the middle of the night on a weekend to get sick? :(

  7. I am so sorry. Sounds like an ear infection. Hopefully they will give him him some antibiotics and get him fixed right up.
