Poor Colby Pants....

My poor little peanut butter has Influenza. :( We've been fighting a high fever for almost a week, sometimes up over 104. I took him in on Monday to make sure his ears were ok, and they were--they told me at that time to push fluids & do the Tylenol round the clock and if no better in a few days to come back...so we went back today! They did cultures for strep throat & Influenza, did a blood draw to rule out any infections, and gave him an antibiotic Rocephin shot as preventative. Poor baby! We both cried & cried. The influenza culture was positive, but since he's under a year he can't have the Tamiflu treatment yet--gotta just keep up what we're doing. We are going to give Ryan the Tamiflu just as preventative, so he doesn't get this. Colby's contagiousness should be about up, so Ryan will be covered for another 10 days..bless his heart, he's been so healthy. Not a sniffle, thank God. The other kids at the babysitter's house have had this junk, so I'm sure glad Ryan's gotten through unscathed!! Must be those Flintsone Vitamins!! :) He'll tell you how strong they make him!! Anyway, it's sure been a tough week--long days, long nights, little sleep, lots of tears...by all of us!! So we're muddling through and taking care of our boys--keep us in your prayers!!!
