Chest X-Ray came back normal! She said he might have a touch of bronchitis, but no pneumonia. She's keeping him on the amoxicillian and gave him a prescription for Zithromax also to fight anything atypical that the amoxicillian can't. I have to call her in the morning and leave her a message with what his temp is and how he's doing. If it's still moderate to high, she's going to squeeze him in again because after tomorrow, they'll be gone until next week for the holiday.

He's feeling a bit better today though. His fever is hovering around 100-101.5, but he's definately starting to act more like himself. I've been able to get some toast into him too. I just wish we knew what it was, but like his doctor said, there are so many viruses that cause the symptoms he has (high fever, coating of the throat, etc) that the only way to find out is with more blood work and she didn't want to put him through that if he was starting to finally respond to the treatments. So we're just keeping our fingers crossed that he can fight this off and the antibiotics will help get rid of the bacterial probs the virus is causing!!

Thanks for all the well wishes! I think we just might get through this before the new year!
