Prestons Ticker

Lilypie Second Birthday tickers

Those rosy cheeks have been Preston's constant companion today....

Preston woke up this morning (early) with a fever & a rapid heartbeat/increased respirations. For a little boy his age he should take between 25-31 breaths a minute and he was breathing about 55-67/minute. So after a call to the Dr. office triage nurse she told us to bring him in right away. His temp has been around 101 all day. The doctor said his ears, lungs, throat and nose are clear, along with everything else coming out ok in his examination. He said we'll just have to watch it the next few days and see what happens. In the meantime he's getting LOTS of cool baths, which he dislikes along with tylenol & grape juice, his favorite. My poor baby! Seems like he can't get a break from sickness. But as you can see he's so sweet.
