Sick Baby!

Last night when I got Parker out of his carseat at home, he felt SOOO hot to me. At first I just thought that he must have gotten too hot in the car because I had turned the air down. I ripped his clothes off of him to cool him off, then took his temp and it was 101.5. I layed him the the recliner next to Steven and they watched TV until dinner was ready. He ate dinner just fine and his temp came down to about 99.9, so I figured he must have just been hot. I gave him some tylenol and he seemed fine for the rest of the night.

This morning when I got Parker up his face was bright red and VERY VERY hot to the touch and he had a huge blister on his cheek. I immediately called his dr's office and left a voicemail for his pediatrician. She called back within 5 minutes and said for me to bring him in ASAP. So I took him in and the pedi. said he had an infection on his face. It could have started as a bug bite or a scratch, but it had gotten infected and had gotten a "fever" in it. She gave me a perscription for double antibiotics and said that if it gets any worse or his fever/actions change to take him immediately to Egleston so they can drain it!!!!!!! UGH!!!!!! She also said that it being on his face makes it much worse and much more dangerous :(...

Of course I had a boohoo session in the car on the way home, I have his perscription and already gave him a dose and hes taking a nap, so we will see how he progresses from here. Keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer for him please!
