After getting home from Utah Sunday night Everett started to act real clingy again and was starting to feel warm. I was chalking it up to his teeth. He'd been having really bad diapers lately, he's been chewing on his fingers a ton, and he wasn't eating, but was still drinking a lot. Those were the same symptoms he's had every other time he cut teeth. We're waiting on his 2 year molars so that's what I kinda thought it was. Come Monday he didn't get any better. When this kid will just sit on your lap and touch nothing something is up! We left work early to just hang out and rest. That night despite taking Tylenol and Motrin his temperature starting rising more and more. We got up to 104 degrees and a few a hours later he started to get the chills. Needless to say something else was wrong besides his teeth coming in.
That morning we scheduled an appointment and headed to the doctor. Of course at this point he was back to a normal temperature, but I still felt like something was wrong. So she checks his ears. Nothing. Looks in his mouth and her eyes got real big! Not something a mother wants to see from her child's doctor. It was his tonsils, again. This time it was much worse. He had the white puss bags and everything. Poor kid. I felt horrible thinking I didn't see it.
This round of tonsillitis was a lot worse and harder to get over. We went to the doctor Tuesday and didn't start seeing real improvements until Friday. All week he's been running a fever off and on. And it breaks your heart to watch him breath while he's sleeping. We thought it was congestion, but found out his snoring was because his tonsils were swollen. I've never seen this kid sleep so much, but it has paid off. Luckily he's back to eating and playing again. You can still tell they hurt, but it's nothing compared to the beginning of the week. Hopefully this is our last run in with his tonsils, or they might not being staying in for too long.
This is how he spent the majority of his week being sick.
