Poor Isaac... But What A Little Trooper

Our little Isaac has yet another sickness. In just 5 ½ months poor Isaac has had RSV, the stomach flu, a sinus infection, a weird rash and now a common cold. Thank goodness we chose a great pediatrician. We see Dr. Huger more than we see the grandparents! She is becoming family. Long story short, we have seen her three times in the last month with two more visits scheduled for the next week. Basically, two weeks ago I brought him in because I thought he had caught my cold. Dr. Huger took one look in his nose and throat and we were immediately taking Amoxicillin. Well… the following Saturday (it never fails that something goes wrong when the Dr.’s office isn’t open) while AB was at a golf tournament, Isaac awoke from his afternoon nap with red dots on his face. These dots continued to spread … which totally freaked me out! After a phone call to the nurses’ hotline, a trip to Dr. Huger’s and to a dermatologist we have come to the conclusion that the rash could be one of three things…Fifth Disease or an allergic or non-allergic reaction to the Amoxicillin. Either way none of these rashes are treated by anything other than waiting it out. So poor Isaac was spotted for a few days. Then Friday afternoon I made yet another trip to Dr. Huger’s thinking that his sinus infection just hadn’t cleared but apparently the cold moved to his chest along with some major gunk in his ears. So, after Isaac had his ears blasted out (which was totally disgusting) and received a breathing treatment I returned home with three medications and a nebulizer. After all this, Isaac is such a trooper! Not once has he fussed! (He handles sickness much better than his daddy!) Hopefully soon, we will be clear of all the sicknesses and having fun in the summer sun.
