real quick...

we went to the new dr today.
she was very nice.
TJ really liked her.
which is more than i can say for his last dr. he'd cry every time anyone was in the room with us.
bottom line diagnosis:
he didn't have any fever while we were there (of course not! why would he act sick at the dr?)
however he did manage to cry hard enough that you could hear how congested and hoarse he is.
his chest and ears are clear, however his nose, is not.
they gave him his 2nd round of flu.
i asked the dr if there would be a problem with him having gotten a vaccine and the possibility of him spiking a fever this evening.
she didn't seem to see any issue with it. (though i did) i didn't think they would have done it at all given the fact that he had had fever in the last 24 hrs) but said that i shouldn't focus so much on him having a fever as i should pay attention to how much he's eating and drinking and if he continues to make tears. but if his fever did come back tonight to bring him back in tomorrow. go figure. dr's don't count anything as a fever unless it's 101 or above.
so she thinks he might have a cold.
that's all she said.
i hate it that they couldn't really find anything wrong with him. but then again i guess it's a good thing that he's not really sick.

Poor little buddy. I bet he feels just awful. :(

You should definitely focus on the positive - that Teege is fairly healthy. A cold is much better than something worse!

vp -yeah and he sounds even worse. he slept for 3 hrs yesterday afternoon. that NEVER happens! but there's no fever today so that's good news!
SWG - such wise words. it could always be worse. i'm glad it is a cold and nothing more. though he does sound like a seal when he coughs. it's such a big cough for such a little body!
