Chest x-rays came back clear but the sinus x-rays did not. As soon as the x-ray tech saw the films, she said, "Oh yeah...that's a sinus infection...its a doozy!"
The blood work indicates its viral, so antibiotics won't help. We get to wait it out and let it runs its course. We also have to watch for ear infections and pneumonia. *sigh* The fever should break and stay down tonight or tomorrow.
We opted out of admitting him and running tests because the pediatrition said it would be hard to get any concrete results unless we ran the tests while he actually had Pneumonia. So, she said, "We'll just wait and see...if he doesn't get Pneumonia again, great! But I honestly think we'll see it sometime in the fall or early winter."
In the mean time, we'll focus on lots of rest, lots of fluids and using lots of tissues.
