Went to the Pedi

[jmc11511]

He has a double ear infection and tonsillitis. He has a prescription for antibiotics which I will start today. We are supposed to leave tomorrow. We are driving. Would you still go or would you cancel? DH says just wait and see how he is feeling once we start antibiotics. I'm inclined to agree. We don't get to see my Grandparents often and I'm not sure when the next opportunity will be.

Wow, good thing you took him in!!! I would go. The antibiotics should kick in quickly, and anyway, you said he isn't really acting super sick. Maybe he will just sleep a lot in the car! Just be prepared for diarrhea with the antibiotics and maybe start probiotics right away.

I'd still go. Jack has a sick visit tomorrow morning if I still think he might have an ear infection; we are going out of town tomorrow and still plan on going.

I would go. 24 hours on antibiotics and he should be good. You said he was playing and acting fine right?

Unless he's acting sick, I'd still go too.

I don't think those things are contagious (ear infections aren't, with tonsillitis it may depend) so I would probably go for it.

Thanks. We will probably go. He is a little more tired than usual today, but I would be too. He is still attempting to play and be active but he can't do it for very long. He ate a few bites of his lunch, took the antibiotic and is already in bed for a nap. Poor little guy, I feel terrible for not taking him in sooner...
