What's up with Max?

I posted this on facebook earlier today... now I have a minute while daddy holds Max I'll update all the inquiring minds here in the blogger world...

Tuesday I took Max and Grace to the Dr. Max needed his 2nd flu shot and Grace needed her ears checked after her last ear infection. Well, Max was just fine and Grace had another ear infection, so we got a prescription for Grace and went home. The next morning Max was really irritable and as the day progressed he developed a fever and became pretty lethargic. I called the Dr to see if this was normal with the flu shot and she said, no bring him right in.

I took Max in Wednesday afternoon and his breathing was really labored and his oxygen levels were low, they thought he had Pneumonia so we went to the ER for x-ray's - his fever was 103.4, today we went to get the results and he cried all morning long. As soon as we get to the Dr he was smiling, and happy. No results in, but he has stopped eating so I had them check his throat and he has big sores on the roof of his mouth now - so a fever, labored breathing, sores on his mouth and crying - the only thing we know for sure is it's not another ear infection.... Oh, and as soon as we got in the car at the DR - he started crying again... It's good to know I can take him in public and he'll be a good boy.... arg.

Later this afternoon the xrays came back and he does not have Pneumonia, so it must be viral. The doctor wants to keep him on the antibiotic because he's not getting over a cold he's had for weeks/months. All he wants is held and loved.... hopefully he can kick what ever this IS fast! It breaks my heart to see him so sick.
