Max has a double ear infection, and upper respiratory infection that's settled in his eyes, and the early stages of pneumonia. He's on an antibiotic, which we're having a little trouble keeping down. Can't keep Tylenol down just yet either... but hope to get him feeling better in the next couple of days.
They did give him his second RSV and second flu shots today... he has a short window on the RSV to keep his immunity up, and the doctor advised against waiting. Poor, sick little man.
In the meantime, we have a new set of rules from his pediatrician to try to keep him more isolated from germs. No more overnight guests, and no one within a 3 foot perimeter of Max. No touching, holding, hugging, or smooching, even sitting too close and breathing on him could be a risk until we get through cold and flu season. This is going to SUCK for the holidays, since we have a lot of parties, gatherings, guests, etc... but we'll do whatever we have to in order to keep this little man from the germs.
We're literally bathing in the antibacterial gel around here... it's so tough to keep him from everything! I'm wondering about keeping him quarantined to his room where only Troy and I would be in there... but the kids would hate not seeing him from anywhere closer than the doorway. Poor little guy is like the boy in the bubble!

Would you like my Moby Wrap back? I wore G during cold and flu season so no one would try to touch him.
I'm so sorry Max is sick. I hope he feels better soon!
