Little Mr. Cain has been sick lately. I thought as of yesterday (after I gave him some Ibuprofen) that he was improving. He slept through the night (for the most part) and woke up in a very happy mood. He played on the floor by himself and acted like he was just fine. Well this afternoon after we got home from picking Cierra up from school and going to the grocery store, I took him out of his car seat and laid him on the floor. He played with his bottle for a little bit and that's when I noticed that his hands and especially his little fingertips were white. When I looked at him a little closer I noticed that not only was his hands blue, but so was his feet and from his cheeks down to his chin. I thought "okay, he might be cold". I decided to give him a bath in hopes that he would warm up and get his color back. While he was in the bath tub Chad and I realized that his whole body was very blotchy, and his lips were getting even more blue. I immediately got him out of the tub and put him in warm PJ's, wrapped him up in a warm blanket and called the doctor. well, of course they wanted to see him a.s.a.p. and we were on our way.
When we first got there the Dr. took his temp and checked to see what his o2 stats were. He had a temperature of 102 degrees and his oxygen level was 92. The Dr. said that 92 is good, but something that we should watch. He checked his ears and listened to his lungs...they looked good, and sounded good. Unfortunately, the Dr. had no explanation for why he is so sick, but did say that there is a possibility that it could be a reaction form the shots he received Monday. Before we left the office the nurse gave him 3/4 of a teaspoon of Tylenol and Ibuprofen in hopes that his temp would lower and his extremities would regain their color. After our trip to the office and we got home he was much improved. He was so tired that he was ready for bed at 7:30. Well, here it is 10:52 and I am writing this blog with my right hand and holding Mr. Cain with my left. I am not sure if he just doesn't feel good or he just wants to be held. I just hope that he feels better real fast.
Special Day!
