Once again Ryland is not feeling well, and he has started pulling on his ears. He had a rough night with a 103.5 fever that would not break. We were up most of the night rocking and medicating. He woke up cranky and a nose full of snot. We headed to the pediatrician again in hopes of feeling better for the weekend.
John Chris was able to come with us today, and I was happy to have him there to talk to the doctor. We went over the symptoms and the doctor tested the urine to see if an infection was to blame. While we were waiting on the results, John Chris mentioned his previous kidney problems. The doctor was concerned and ordered a renal scan for next week. It is a precaution just in case there is an obstruction. The urine test came back negative, so it is apparently just a virus. He went ahead and prescribed an antibiotic and said to continue the decongestant we have been using daily to clear up the ear fluid before it gets infected.
We hope everything goes well next, and we will post an update.
