shortly after Mimi came back from the hospital, Ozzy gets a headache and a fever. Friday July 3, afternoon, as we were driving to gymnastics, he says his head really hurts. He says he can still do gymnastics. later that night, 11pm in bed, he feels warm. Temp 101.4
12pm wakes crying. Says everything hurts. 2tsp Motrin. Temp 100.7. Feels chills.
Saturday 7/4- wait to see if this is the same thing Mimi had or just a run of the mill cold.
am temp 100.7 ; 12:40pm motrin temp 101.8; 7pm tylenol 103.0; 11pm Motrin 101
Sunday 7/5- going on three days of fever, figure this is the same thing, schedule a sick appt for Monday 11am Tylenol 101.1; 4pm 102.7 motrin; 7pm 101.9 tylenol; 10:15pm Motrin 102
Monday 7/6 - ped checks him out and says he seems fine. CBC, strep all come up normal/neg. but decide to make sure with Xray. run to get xrays down the street, and they find pneumonia in lower left lung and it all reminds me of the same thing Mimi went thru. back to the ped, Dr Ohara decides to call the Infectious Disease Specialitst that treated Mimi at the hospital and they decide to put him on doxycycline (even tho he's not quite 7 yet, and there's warnings about using in children under the age of 8, affecting growth plates and permanent damage to teeth). our insurance wouldnt cover the doxycyline (no idea why! so it took most of the day to finally get a pharmacy that would allow me to buy it so i had to wait until evening before giving him his first dose.)
