This is the longest illness we experienced.  Logan began to be sick on Wednesday last week.  He told us that he was very tired after school and he laid on the couch and slept for at least 2 hours.  When he woke up from nap, he sent me a text message “Moooommmmmmmy” to find out when we would be home and this message broke my heart.  With that, Logan stayed home on Thursday and Friday with Stuart working at home.  He was having a fever and bad cough, and he really looked very uncomfortable until he was medicated.  By Sunday, Logan was still coughing a lot but at least the fever finally came down and stayed below 100; we were hopeful that he was getting better and able to return to school soon. 

     However early on Monday, Logan woke up with 101 temperature again and so we made an appt with the doctor that afternoon.  By appointment time, I walked over from work to meet Stuart and Logan.  The doctor suggested that Logan likely had the flu and fortunately his lungs were clear.  His right ear looked inflamed and thus likely the reason for the recurrence of fever.  Logan was sent home with an antibiotics to take for 5 days.

    Logan had already missed 3 days of school, thus he had a lot to catch up with.  His fever was gone so he went to school on Tuesday and Wednesday.  He said he was fine during the day but very tired and still coughing.  Beside those symptoms, his right ear began feeling weird and he could not hear well from it.  For Thanksgivings and the entire weekend, we kept Logan resting at home meaning that he even missed out on the turkey trot.  Throughout these days, Logan was still hovering 99 to 100.0, and his ear was still clogged, so we called the doctor on Friday.  She advised us on when to bring Logan in and in the meantime we let Logan continue to recuperate.  Today was the first day Logan’s cough seemed to be slightly improved, and we really can’t wait for him to totally recovered from this long illness.
