Please keep little Blake in your prayers.
The little guy just can't catch a break.
Last Thurs. april 17th, I took Blake to the Dr. for low grade fever, diarrhea and congestion. We thought it was just a cold and should watch him. Over the weekend, his diarrhea continually got worse and his fever Low grade(99.0-99.1) hung around. Blake was not feeling much himself and wasn't sleeping very well. Last night Blake's fever spiked to 101.7 he had over 9 dirty diapers and didn't sleep more than 45 min spurts. After taking him back to the Dr. today we found he has 2 severe ear infections and when they weighed him on last Thurs he was 18.5 lbs now he is 17.4. He has lost over a pound in a matter of days! They sent cultures on his stool and did lots of blood work. The blood work came back good! So we are very thankful for that, but little Blake is continuing to have severe diarrhea. Our Pediatrition wants Blake to take Isomil DF for 8 days in addition to my breastmilk to see if we can replace some of his electrolytes. Now that he will be on an antibiotic for 5 days there is more concern about his stomach and diarrhea issues. Sweet Little Blake just dosen't feel well and you feel so helpless when they are just so small. I feel a bit concerned that Blake is only 3 months old and has already had 2 ear infections requiring antibiotics as well as the hospital stay for the flu.
Drue's diagnosis: "He has a cold and the runs"
