Halloween

Update on Coleman...after switching to another antibiotic earlier this week since he was spitting up the other one as soon as he took it, we still saw no real signs of improvement. Keith took Coleman back to After Hours Thursday night and his left ear is now infected too because he was not responding to the antibiotics. So, he got a shot with hopes of that clearing it up. He seems to be getting back to normal...YAY!!!...and we go back today to see if it is clearing up the ears. If not, we get another shot and head back Monday. I'm just ready for my little guy to be feeling good again!

As for Carter...I got a phone call from day care as I was on my way to his Halloween party yesterday, and was told that he had vomited and there was a kid in his class that went home with a virus that day! Great! Well, Carter assured me that he felt better and our friends in Gray said it was fine with them for us to come on out and trick-or-treat last night. We did and Carter seemed fine. His tummy was upset and he was a little more subdued than usual when we got home. He woke up at 12:30 this morning after having vomited again. So, yes I believe we do have a virus. He has no fever and is playing as usual this morning and he doesn't seem to feel bad.

Now, back to Halloween. We went to Gray last night to trick-or-treat with our friends. They live in a neighborhood with lots of kids and LOTS of activity. There were people, wagons and hayrides EVERYWHERE!!! The kids had a great time going door to door for candy. After each house they would inspect their bags and Carter would ask "is it full yet?" I thought surely we would want to eat candy all night, but Carter only ate a few pieces. Now I have to figure out what will stay here and what I will sneak out to put in the treat box at school..hee! hee!hee!

UPDATE...I took Coleman back to After Hours this afternoon for the doctor to check his ears and see if the Rocefin shot was working or not. The right ear is clearing up, but not the left one. So, Coleman got another Rocefin shot and we head back Monday to see Dr. Slade. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will do it, because I sure don't want to see him have another shot...that one looked like it hurt!
