So this has been an eventful last few days in the life of Trio. On Thursday he started feeling feverish that went over to Friday (no actual fever reading as we didn't have a thermometer since Trio lost it) and I ended up taking him to his doctor (who admonished me slightly for not having a one since we didn't know how high his fever actually was). However she agreed that it was odd how warm and fussy he was and took blood and urine for a couture and CBC after checking for an ear infection and teething. We had to wait on the first test but the latter with the blood proved that he had some kind of infection either kidney or urinary tract infection so she give him a shot of antibiotics that day.

Which SUCKED!
First off all it hurt to put in the nurse told me that right off the bat. And then he kicked so hard he almost bent the needle so she had to take it out and give the rest to him in his other leg. Both his legs were sore that night. The next day we went to the After Hours Clinic for a follow-up and first they hadn't sent any paperwork over (which was mildly annoying). That doctor said he would give him more antibiotics and we went the oral route since I didn't want to have to deal with him being sore and cranky since we were going out to Blanco for a family reunion for the first part of the morning. So that was just rough all around. Then we went to my dad's for a BBQ for a friend who was back from Iraq on R&R and visited with some of his great aunts.

Yesterday he was a little better being off and on cranky but for the most part good. Which was good since we ran around a lot for Father's Day including going to see my dad, the great grandfather at China Star Buffet, the hubby's dad's in-laws, and then back to great granddad and my father's. But at the dinner yesterday there was a trampoline that he got on for awhile and he had a blast. So that was good to see him having a good time after having a kind of crappy weekend. We'll see how this week goes with him but we have a couple of playdates which is great I love going out and hanging out with kids around his age and watching him interact. Keep your fingers crossed today; we have to call to see what the test results said and if we have to continue the antibiotics for the full ten days.
