Little Man is still "sick"

This would be easy to drag out into a very long posting, but I'm not going to do it to you.

Here are the highlights:

  • Little Man has been running a very low grade temp (along with a few other random symptoms) since about the time we got back from our trip to New England. (that makes it something like 7-8 weeks)
  • He's now had two different rounds of antibiotics
  • He's had a total of three different rashes (one was the strep rash)
  • His bloodwork came back negative for mono and Epstein Barr (the virus that causes mono) but definitely shows that there is something viral going on
  • We're taking him to a pedi infectious disease doctor (tomorrow) to see if we can get some answers.

I can't imagine he's contagious. Seems like someone else around him by now would be sick too. Anyways, I'm not going to start trying to jump to conclusions but I'll just let the doctor do her job and hope and pray that they find answers quickly and with as few tests as possible. Little Man's had to have his blood taken twice in the past week and he just absolutely hates being held down, so that's my hope: A quick resolution.

I'll keep you posted.
