Doc's Report

Tuesday, June 22, 2010

Jesse’s run a mystery fever off an on for the past 3 weeks. When it returned on Sunday we decided it was time mto head to the doctor’s office to get some testing done. My internet searches yielded a lot of links and references to mono. He didn’t seem to have any other symptoms, so it really was a mystery for us.

Turns out he has coxsackie - most likely herpangina, which is hand, foot, and mouth disease without the hand and foot part. He has a nasty rash inside his mouth and in the back of his throat.

The doc tested him for strep just to be sure and that did come back negative, so that’s good. But it’s bad, because with strep he could get antibiotics and be feeling better today. With this virus he needs to just ride it out. Poor little dude.

And it’s highly contagious, so we’re wondering if/when the rash will develop in Molly’s mouth since she had her fever a week ago. Poor wee lass.

It’s a total bummer now that the pool is open, too. We’ve been waiting for 3 weeks for the pool to be open on weeknights and now Jesse can’t go because of his virus.

We managed to take a bunch of pictures of Jesse today. Here’s the best of the bunch.

Beau was telling me that he’s got this way of burping Jesse that works better than the traditional method. I was skeptical until Jesse let out a healthy burp almost immediately. Whatever works, I guess.

Also, we rescheduled his weight check appointment from tomorrow morning to this afternoon because of the pending snow/ice event overnight. Paranoid new parent drivers that we are, we didn’t want to miss the appointment or have to brave the roads if they are icy tomorrow. So…the little guy gained 5 ounces in the past week, which pleased everyone. He’s now at 7 lbs, 1 oz. Next appointment is Feb 15. Also, the doc said that we don’t need to worry about feeding as often overnight now - let him sleep. This is good for Mama and Daddy since he slept for 5 hours last night. We’re hoping that’s the new trend.
