Benjamin

Well, on Saturday we went to the doctor and started the anti-biotics.

On Sunday Ben was slightly better. He woke up with a temp, but only just over 38C.  Much better than the last few days. He was still miserable most of the day, but we kept up with the anti-biotics, Panadol and Nurofen and he seemed to eat a little better. His temp remained normal the rest of the day .

On Monday Ben seemed a little better. His temp was completely normal, but it seemed his throat was still sore. He was more whingy than normal and at one point when we asked if he had pain and where he was sore he opened his mouth. We kept up the painkillers…… Unfortunatly this morning we noticed his belly, chest, back and neck up to his ears were covered in a red blotchy rash. We weren’t sure if it was a viral rash, possibly related to his illness (same thing happened to Ethan about 6 months ago) or a reaction to the anti-biotics. We took him back to the doctor, who also didn’t know what was causing the rash. He looked in Ben’s throat and said it looked good. He told us to stop the anti-biotics and see what happened….

So we wait…..
