Update...

Last night Owen's fever kept rising higher and higher. By this morning it was over 104 and he was curled up in a ball moaning that his stomach hurt :( We called the dr and brought him in. They first thought it might be his appendix, but ruled that out. Then they thought kidney infection or bladder infection. After a quick pee in a cup (which Owen was NOT thrilled with and kept telling me "we don't pee in cups!!! We pee in POTTIES!!!") and the testing that goes with that, those were ruled out. He was only complaining of his stomach hurting and he had a fever. The dr checked his ears- both were fine (one tube is still in, one is out and just sitting in the canal). His glands on his neck were swollen, as were his tonsils (but he always has enlarged tonsils so it's hard to tell what's actually swollen). His throat was a little red but not horrible. She decided to do a strep test to rule that out before looking further. And the strep came back positive. I'm baffled on how his tummy could hurt and not his throat with strep but... who knew?

So, the question of the day was "how do we get medicine in him?". We had 2 choices- a 10 day course of antibiotics (3 times a day) but ALL of the antibiotics had to get in him. Or 1 dose of an antibiotic shot. Now, if I had a typical kid I'd have chosen the oral antibiotics, hands down. But Owen's my fun child ;) There's no way 30 doses of antibiotics was ever going to make it in his body. No. Way. The kid won't even take a dose of freaking tylenol. So, they called around looking for a pharmacy with the shot. They eventually found one, so I packed Owen up and went there to pick it up. Then back to the dr office to administer it. Needless to say- that was not fun. The poor pumpkin just kept screaming "THIS IS NOT FUNNY. THIS HURTS!" the whole time ;( Then we had to sit there for 30 minutes so they could observe him since the shot was a penicillin (and he's had a reaction to ammoxicillin).

After that we headed home. He ate a few bites of applesauce and a mini popsicle before falling asleep (around 1pm). Jason came home from work so I could go to work for a few hours at 2. By 4:00 Jason was calling me saying that Owen's temperature was 105.4 and that he wasn't moving (he hadn't woken up since he fell asleep at 1). So, I called the dr and talked to them and left work to run to the pharmacy to get him tylenol butt plugs. Ran home and gave him one. His temp went down a little, he did wake up for a few hours and ate a couple bites of food, but is now asleep again with his temp rising again. I'm sure it'll be a fun night....
