The Perfect Storm

I know that I promised over a month ago to catch you all up on our happenings. It just hasn't worked out that way for me. The Marks family has truly experienced the "Perfect Storm" for the past month. If you've ever seen that movie you know what I mean. The storm started right before Thanksgiving when I realized that Ryder was getting a little puny. So, the day before we left for Alabama I took him to the doctor where they told me that he had a sinus infection and put him on Omnicef. I did that and we went about our business. While in Alabama he just seemed to get sicker. When we got to Charlotte he had a terrible constant cough and dark green mucus. Took him to Urgent Care and were told that he had bronchitis. Put him on Zithromax along with the Omnicef. Poor little guy! Continued to get worse. Took him back to the dr. and told it was a virus, but to continue the meds. Didn't sleep at all on Saturday night. Took him to new dr. on Sunday and told he had a chest infection and one of the worst ear infections she'd ever seen. Put him on Augmentin. Three antibiotics in three weeks...is that a record? Started getting a little better. Came back home and developed a rash all over his body. Took him to his pediatrician here and told that he was misdiagnosed from the beginning, shouldn't have been on the first two meds, had a cousin of the hand/foot/mouth virus. Can you tell that it was a fun time? Then, Christmas hit...enough said.

So, I am back and trying to catch up. I backdated the posts so they are in a little bit of a weird order. I think the last one that I did goes back to November 24th.
