The verdict is in.

Tonight Austin spiked a fever of 104.oo degrees. At this point I called the pharmacy to make sure that with all the stuff I had given him that I could still give him some Tylenol for the fever. After doing that there was still no improvement so I did the only other thing I thought would be best; I called my parents and asked my Dad to come over and give him a blessing. My wonderful parents dropped everything and rushed right over. My dad gave him a blessing but Austin had gone from bad to worse. He was at this point completely incoherent. It was down right scary. My parents offered to stay home with Paityn so that I could (at 9:30pm) take Austin to Insta-Care. The Dr.s looked him over and found that his throat was red so they did a Strep test on him that luckily came back negative.!!! Then they probed further and found that Austin's prescription for Augmentin (for a previous infection) was either to strong of a dose or simply too strong of an antibiotic. While his body was fighting the medicine he caught Paityn's RSV and Croup germs. So the impossible has happened that my nearly three year old has RSV. I'm glad to know what finally wrong with him but I'm still upset because there's really nothing that I can do for him.

I'm sorry! What a bummer when they are so sick. I hope he feels better soon.
