Feeling HOT! HOT! HOT!

So, this afternoon, I came home at lunch time for Landon's OT session......or so I thought.  When I walked in the door, I realized it was rather quiet.  Upon entering my living room, where Landon is usually working hard, I found his yellow service form on my coffee table with the comment, "Landon was not feeling well today.  He was congested & fussed today, definitely not himself.  He appeared very tired & just wanted to be held.  Session ended early".

Hmmm, that doesn't sound like the smiling, dancing, very vocal little boy I left this morning!  NOPE!  Walking into Landon's bedroom, there he was, having his diaper changed and just laying there.....STILL and LETHARGIC!  Definitely not himself.  This is the same little boy that when I change his diaper, I feel like I am a WWE wrestler and I am holding him down for the count to win the championship belt!  It really is quite the sight!!  LOL

Not today!  Today he was feeling extremely HOT!  He wasn't feeling much like eating or drinking.  All signs that were pointing in the direction of his pediatrician's office.  So, off we went.  Imagine my surprise that in just 3 1/2 short hours, my poor baby boy, managed to run a fever of 102.8!!!  WOW, where did that come from?  Well, I'm not exactly sure, but I do know that it was accompanied by fluid in the ears, a major rash, total congestion and YES.....VOMIT!!!

After having some labs run, it was concluded that Landon has a viral infection.  Doctor prescribed an antibiotic and HOME we went.  Poor little guy couldn't keep any food down and was in such discomfort.  Can't a "little man" catch a break??

Landon is supposed to go to Children's Hospital Boston, tomorrow morning, to see Dr. Lee (his ENT).  I'm not exactly sure how we are expected to travel 45 minutes with a sick little boy who is vomiting & is still rear-facing!  All therapy sessions have been CANCELLED for the rest of the week.  And I am thinking his ENT appointment may have to be rescheduled too!!  I have reservations about rescheduling because I do not know how long it will take us to get another appointment.  We do know, that after the ear infection winter from hell, Landon is well on his way to having tubes put in!

But seeing my poor little guy like this.......


just makes me so sad...........


and makes me want to cuddle with him ALL DAY LONG!!!


And so, I think I will do just that.....TOMORROW!!!

  1. Oh poor baby! I hope he gets better soon and you can figure out what to do about Boston. Those reschedulings can push things back by months. Praying you both have some lovely cuddle time tomorrow.

  3. Oh he looks so sick and uncomfortable. Hope he feels better. We are on opposites. Yesterday we went to the ENT and today my little man has a fever. Not as high..but a fever. We have tubes, wax build up and some fluid too. Ugh. Hope you can get a quick appointment.

  7. Poor baby! Why the antibiotics for a viral infection? Was his ear infected? Hope he feels better soon!

  8. Yes Cammie, his ears are infected. I guess Landon's fevers don't like to travel alone. They are always accompanied by so many "other visitors". Dr. Lee didn't want to torture Landon, so he told us to STAY HOME today!! He also said that he will reschedule Landon for his ear appt. within the next 4 weeks!! PRETTY IMPRESSIVE!! That works for us as it was for a 6 month check up (no emergency)!!!

  9. Hope Landon feels better soon! I want to cuddle him from those pictures too! And what is it about having to become a WWE champ to change a diaper??!! I feel exactly the same way with my little guy! He used to LOVE getting his diaper changed and now he just would prefer to be buck naked apparently! Though he fights me even when I'm trying to take the diaper OFF! I'd love to see a video and compare notes...where do these boys learn those moves?

  12. Oh poor baby!! You can see in his eyes that he doesn't feel good. Tell that doctor to get those tubes in so those ears will stop getting infected.

  13. oh poor landon - i hope he is starting to feel more himself and that the antibiotic will kick in soon! i also hope it won't take too long for them to schedule his surgery for tubes (if that is what you guys decide to do --- whitney's second set, "t-tubes" this time, are WONDERFUL!!!)
    thinking of you guys - hope you get lots of cuddling in!!!
