Well, this weekend was an adventure, and not a good one. Saturday Zander had a fever so I gave him some Ibuprofen and he had a nap. When he woke up his eyes were swollen and his body and forehead were covered with hives. I gave him some Benadryl and some acedominaphen and he wanted to get back to sleep (this was around 9pm). When I checked him at 2am his whole face was swollen along with his feet and hands. When we woke up we went to Solantic Urgent Care and the nurse said it was a classic allergic reaction. They gave him a shot since the Benadryl was not helping with the swelling. I feel that the reaction was from the Ibuprofen so looks like we will not be using that anymore.
While we were there they checked for flu since he had a fever, runny nose and cough. He tested positive for Type A flu (80% of these are swine flu although they did not say specifically). After searching several (9) different pharmacies, we were able to get the Tamiflu suspension prescription. He is staying home from daycare this week so we are all chipping in to watch him...Pappa, Mamma, Ouma Sivi...it will be a group effort. I am just praying now that it does not make its way to anyone else, especially Owen.
These photos don't even show the nastiness that Zander became but you get the idea.... Send us positive thoughts!
