I knew Carter was sick when his fever was so high and he was acting like he felt miserable, but of course on the morning I took him to the doctor he perked up. I didn't want to be the crazy lady who took her kid to the pediatrician for a cold, but I'm glad that I took him!
First the doctor looked in his ears and told me he had a double ear infection, then he looked in his throat - spots on his tonsils. As if that wasn't bad enough, he then listened to his lungs and said "That doesn't sound good". NOT what I wanted to hear. Little man had a viral infection in both of his lungs.
The doctor made us stay there and do a breathing treatment to see if that would help things. If not, we'd have to go to the hospital for a chest x-ray. Thank God the breathing treatment seemed to help, so he sent us home with our very own nebulizer that we lovingly named "Bubbles".
Tell me that is not the most pitiful thing you have ever seen? He was SUCH a trooper through his 3-a-day treatments! I just hope we never have to go through that again!!
