should be easier than stove top and doesn't require a rice cooker.
When we got to the ER, it was packed with infants and they were pushing them through first. Once we were done waiting in the adult ER waiting room, we got moved to the pediatrics waiting room.
The nurse was amazing! She had the kid laughing so much (which is something I haven't seen/heard him do all week).
They didn't swab him for strep, but went with the previous dr's diagnosis. I was kind of hoping they would swab him and confirm it because, like BG said, mono is often misdiagnosed as strep.
They gave him an IV drip to get him fluids, a steroid shot, an anti-nausea med, and an antibiotic. They also prescribed him a stronger antibiotic to start taking today. After a few hours on the above, the dr came back in and said he could already tell a difference. The kid actually had some color and was saying he was hungry.
After he finished all of the meds, they discharged him with instructions to come back if his fever goes back up. I checked his fever when we got home and it was 97.1.
I'm glad I went because I thought he was getting enough fluids (he was drinking contantly, but I guess the constant high temps negate that). I'm also glad we got this dr because I our room was next to the nurse's station and I heard a nurse and our dr talking. The dr stayed hours after his shift was over so the kid wouldn't have to be admitted. The nurse told the dr that the next dr coming on (in the morning) would have asked that they admit him so he could handle things in the morning. (They don't do over night shifts in pediatrics so the kid would hav ebeen admitted if the dr didn't stay on.)
When we got home, the kid ate a bowl of oatmeal and some cheetos. That's the most he's eaten since Sunday and I was thrilled.
Anyway, that's my book.
I usually like the quiet time when he sleeps in, but I want him to wake up so I can see how he's feeling. I'm sure that's exactly what he wants to deal with as soon as he gets up.
