Well, we went to the pediatrician today. We just could not get this fever to go down and stay down. So, after a complete checkup, the Dr put him on an antibiotic and said to keep giving him the Tylenol and Motrin. God, I hope this works. The Dr thinks he has Strep!! Man, this sucks. I hate it when he is sick and there is really nothing I can do but give him medicine and hope that works. The problem is if the fever does not break and stay down then the fear of possible Meningitis is there. That is far fetched - but not irrational at this point. His fever has been from 103.3 to tonight when I took it at 98.7 - so hopefully it broke and we can breath a sigh of relief. The Dr says not to really worry again at this point unless the fever gets over 102.5 then call his office and we will go from there.
How do you convince yourself being a mother that you are doing the right things for your children? When you did not have the motherly upbringing to show you what to worry about and what not too? I have this ongoing problem everyday I make decisions regarding Isaac. Second guessing myself about alot of things. I do the best I can - but you can't help but think...Maybe he would not have gotten sick if I made him wear the hat or zip his coat or wash his hands more often. I do all that - so there must be something else right? Something else I am missing that I should be doing. I know germs are germs - but I can't help but feeling this way. Isaac is literally all I have in this great big world and when he is sick - I feel like I failed him. Maybe I am over reacting - maybe not...
Well, I will be hoping and praying for the best all night and when I take his temp tomarrow - I will update you all.
Love:
Kristine and Isaac
