*~*poor Jacob*~*

The poor boy has been thru *so* much the
last week.
Friday he went to he doc and had a bad ear
infection so they put him on omnicef,
which gave him horrrrrrrible diarrhea.
Then monday night, he decided to take a
headfirst dive out of the shopping kart at
walmart... strait onto his noggin. He
cried for a minute then was fine.
So Tuesday we took him to the doctor to
make sure there were no cuncussions and
such. which there wasn't. BUt they changed
his antibiotic for his ears to .Septra to
stop his diarrhea.
Well, this morning he started running a
*high* fever... i mean 104 high. We gave
him tylenol, a cool bath, it went away.
Around 3:30 this afternoon it came back..
took him *back* to the doctor, they gave
him motrin, didnt help it. DOc said he has
a virus, gave him some .Ceron .D.M drops
for his congestion and sneezing, and let
us on our way.
Well, while we were out to dinner with my
parents, .Jacob started having tremors. He
was like, trembling, shaking so much he
was terrifying me. SO i wrapped him up in
my sweater and it eventually stopped. We
gave him some tylenol, and after 45
minutes it wasnt making the fever go down
so we left for the .E.R.
Well then his fever went away.
And we were told we had a 12 hour wait.
Minimum.
So we're home. Going to go back in the
morning.
Get this..
there was a lady there that had been
brought in by ambulance with severe chest
pains that was in the lobby waiting to be
seen by a doctor, and had been there for 3
hours before we got there.
Im not keeping .Jacob there all night
being sick.
YOu'd think they'd take him back asap
since he had a head injury and a fever.
but no.

We actually went to the Minute Clinic its
in all of the cvs's in my area. You might
want to look into something like that. The
nurse was great, it was cheap and to like
10 minutes to get all the prescriptions we
needed. We should be better before to
long.

The actual place is called Lockhart. It is
were pinehills apopka and altamonte
springs meet. I went to the one In front
of Costco on forest city rd (434). It
costs $49 if you dont have insurance. They
didn't accept mine,but they are running a
copay promotion and I only had to pay $20.
They are open from 8 to 8. mon thru fri. I
know they are open on Sat , but i don't
know the hours.

yeah my dad grew up in lockhart! I know
exactly where its at. ITs such a rural
little town lol but its quaint and cute.
I'll have to look into MinuteClinic. We've
been taking the kids to Centra Care or
NIghtlight lately since the closest doctor
appt we can getwas march 16th at their
pediatrician.

that same thing happened with my sisters
son he is 14 mths but she was on aplane on
her way to florida from washington. Her
sons fever got so high he had a siezure
on the airplane. but they got rushed off
by ambulance to a hospital in georgia.
Turns out he had a double ear infection.
so i know that thats gotta suck. her sons
fever was at 104 too. thats why u gotta
watch, imsuprised that ER didnt see em
sooner. i would start finding a different
ER. there is never anyone at the ER around
here everytime ive been lol, I wonder what
it takes to have u seen asap? high fevers
can cause siezure, seizures can cause
brain damage. and the lady with chest
pains, man if she woulda had a heartattack
out there i woulda sued lol. most
hospitals see you right away if u say
chest pain . hope hes feeling better
though  i havent had
internet for almost 2 days . BUt hope he
gets better soon if hes still sick.

future when he has a fever and has the
shivers you have to let him stay without a
sweater...hes gotta stay cool ..the more
you bundle him the higher the fever will
run...

I am sooo sorry to hear about jacob love,
i hope that he does better.
My dr is a 24 hour....if she gets sick we
can go there. they can do iv's and oxigen
and there is a place to keep the babies
overnight if needed....they also can take
x-rays too......maybe you can see if you
can find one of them.....
good luck love....call me and let me know
if there is anything i can do.....but call
me anyway and tell me how he is.
kiss him for me and amelia.
