Night on the town with Dad!

Tyler has been sick for a few weeks now and I finally took him back to the Doctor on Wednesday.  Low and behold he had an ear infection and the Doc. gave us an antibiotic and I thought we were on the road to recovery.  As a rule of thumb when it comes to kids, I should have known better!  By Friday he had broken out in a full body rash and he was extremely fussy!  I called the Doc back and they figured he was allergic to the antibiotic so we stopped it and the Doc said he'd probably had enough of it to clear up the ear.  Saturday however he was even more fussy and pulling on his ear and we just couldn't take seeing him like that any more.  It's funny how these things always seem to happen on the weekends!  

Tom ended up taking him to Acute Kids and they did in fact confirm that he was allergic to the antibiotic and it wasn't just a viral rash.  His ear infection was still going strong so they prescribed another antibiotic and Tom had to chase down a pharmacy that was still open.    Tyler was a trooper through it all and I joked with Tom that he just wanted to spend a night out alone with his Dad!  

Tyler was still up crying a few times during the night but this morning he seems to FINALLY be in MUCH better spirits!  The rash is still there (not sure how well you can see it in the photo) and he's still itchy but at least he's happy and playing contentedly again!
