Truman is a very sick little boy. He has had a high fever for about 48 hours now without it breaking. It has risen as high as 103.9, but seems to be lingering around 102 everytime the meds wear off. We can't seem to get it all the way down either even with meds.
He throws up everytime it's time for a new dose of Tylenol or Motrin. As of this afternoon, he won't eat or drink at all. He's not dehydrated yet, but if complete refusal continues, we'll have to take him in for an IV. We don't think he's actually nauseous, but that the vomiting is just part of his general vomiting issues.
We took him to Tiny Tots today. His ears are clear, and a strept culture came back negative, but his throat was very inflamed. They diagnosed him with viral pharyngitis and said it's going around. It lasts a week to 10 days and is contagious the entire time there are symptoms.
Forgot to add --- He weighs 22 lbs, 14.5 ounces.
