We ended going back to the ER on Sunday,because after Max slept a long nap, he woke up crying that his neck, head and ear were hurting. His neck was swollen twice the normal size and the redness was all over...............not good !
He had a CAT scan and was put on IV antibiotics in the ER, while waiting to be admitted, but the swelling would not stop. Another antibiotic was started, but it still didn't make a difference. Around 9 pm we were finally transported to SMH, because LWR does not have a pediatric ward. Max got to ride in an ambulance !!
He was terrified though and kept screaming not to be taken away.........we had to reassure him that Mom would get to ride with him !!
Monday morning it looked like the 5th antibiotic was finally having some effect, a blood test was done and it turned out Max had MRSA ! I couldn't believe it !
Today we were released, he will be on 8 more days of antibiotics (clendomycin) and hopefully we have slayed this dragon !!!!!!
