ER Visit: Sinusitis

This weekend was pretty pitiful around here. Friday night I was out running errands and went to check on Carter to find he had a fever of a 103 degrees. About an hour after giving Motrin, the fever was still the same. I snatched him up and headed immediately to the emergency room. He had seen his ENT Thursday and was put on Amoxicillian for what seemed like a minor infection but things sure can change quickly.

Carter at the ER waiting on the Doctor..pitiful.
He was so hot they made me take off his shirt and yes, he refused to wear a gown. Typical two old.
The final verdict was a severe case of Sinusitis. We also discovered that there is a biter in Carter's daycare at the church. When undressing him at the ER, I discovered a series of bruised teeth marks up and down his arms. I tried several times to get the name of the child to properly address the issue but Carter was too distracted. It took the Dr. one try and Carter gave the name of a little boy named Britton. Boy, will Britton be dreading this mama on Monday!

Overall, Carter has improved since Friday. He is still not eating well but he is drinking a lot, playing with his toys again, and being extra cuddly!
