RSV

Grayson has had a low grade fever (between 99.5 and 101F) for about 2 weeks now.  In addition, he's been congested.  You can mainly hear it in his breathing but he's also been coughing some to clear the mucus in his lungs.  Grayson hasn't really been much fussier than normal but he has only slept through the night once in the last couple of weeks (he was sleeping through the night a lot before that).

When I took Grayson in for his 4 month checkup, he'd had these symptoms for about 36 hours.  The pediatrician wasn't concerned so I wasn't worried.  But since they'd been lingering for awhile now, I finally took Grayson back in yesterday.

Dr. Huss determined Grayson has an ear infection.  Grayson is also wheezing and with the constant low grade fever, Dr. Huss thinks he's probably had RSV (and that has caused the ear infection).

We got a prescription for an antibiotic and hopefully that will kick all of this out of Grayson's system soon!  It is hard to give Grayson the medication but I think I'm getting him to swallow most of it.  He still had a fever of 100.3F tonight but maybe tomorrow it'll start going down!
