Benjamin Update

After having a good day yesterday, leading us to think the worst was over, Benjamin woke up fussing and crying last night, with the same type of breathing problems. I took him back into the doctor this morning, and Dr. Pilkington thought that perhaps the antibiotic was causing some stomach problems for him. He gave us some samples of one that is an oral version of the antibiotic that was in the shot that seemed to work so well Monday. Hopefully this will kick it out of Benjamin! He really didn't want to go to the doctor again--whimpered pretty much the whole time, but at least he didn't scream at the top of his lungs or anything (like some there did!).

Unfortunately, not yet. He's been whimpering and fussing all day, according to Meron.

Hopefully a rotation of Motrin and Tylenol will knock out his fever and help him feel better. If not, we'll be back to the doctor tomorrow.

hey- hope he's getting better. micah is sick, too. sounds like a pretty similar bug. perhaps the buddies shared their germs in addition to everything else.

I heard that, and that crossed my mind as well. Perhaps a TLC thing? Hope Micah is improving!

Sorry to hear that Benjamin isn't feeling well. He sounds tough though, I'm sure he will feel better in no time.
