So frustrating!

As many of you know CeJae has been fighting fever, vomiting and diarrhea since early Sunday morning. The thing that absolutely broke my heart was that he would grab his chest and say "heart hurts". Thinking that this was the flu bug that has been going around I let it go for a few days, documenting the temps and counting the trips to the bathroom. Well, finally on Tuesday morning when he woke up with a raging 103.7 temperature I decided to call the Dr. and get an appointment for that day. Unfortunately they were not able to see him until 5:15 that evening so we battled the fevers all through the day. When 5:15 rolled around we had him at the Dr. That particular day my pediatrician had a student seeing patients with him. First the student came in and looked him over. After the student gave me his opinions of what was or could be wrong. He then went and got the Dr. When he came in he literally looked in his eyes, pushed on his stomach, checked his ears,listened to his lungs and said they were crystal clear. He looked in his throat and saw that it was red and said " oh, this is viral. Let it run it's course and if he's not better in a full week ( next Tuesday) then I would like to see him again. He then asked me how I was taking his temperatures. I told him I used a oral thermometer and I had him take it orally. He looked at me and said " at this age?" I said, yes. He then informed me that children at this age should not be getting their temperatures taken' orally. They are too young to keep it under their tongues and you get a wrong reading. Just to clarify CeJae does know how to take a temperature orally and does it very well. He knows to keep it under his tongue and has no issue with it. I simply said okay and we left. I was so incredibly dissatisfied I called my grandmother, my sister in law and many friends asking for advice. Everyone said the same thing...you know your son and you know how he acts when he's sick weather it be a simple cold or something bigger. Everything about this illness was telling me that it wasn't just a viral "thing" and that I needed a second opinion. I decided after talking with Chad that when he wakes up in the middle of the night with his raging fever I would then load him up and take him to the ER. Well, to my surprise that night he slept through the night and woke up at 5:00 in the morning with a minor fever of 99.7 degrees. He seemed better throughout the day and even ate a little and kept it down. Just when I started second guessing myself he spiked another fever and was in a ball on our couch crying his eyes out that his heart hurt. This is when we decided that we absolutely need a second opinion. We left for the ER. When we got to the ER they did all the normal vitals including an oxygen level which was 92 (borderline) after they took the chest x-ray that showed all but a little spot at the bottom of his right lobe is full of fluid. They instantly got IV antibiotics and fluids going and admitted him. He's improved a little today. He's no longer running a fever, but he's not peeing like they would like. He's still grunting and working to breath. They took another chest x-ray this morning and when comparing it to the one from last night it actually shows the Pneumonia is progressing down and into the left lobe. I woke this morning thinking that he's been on antibiotics for a few hours and truly thought that we'd be going home today. No such luck! According to the Dr. he's working to hard to breath and is thinking most likely the earliest he'll be going home is Saturday. :( He doesn't like the hospital and is constantly saying he wants to go home. Hopefully soon as all I can say :(
