Update on Mr. Jackson

Today we went to the doctor off base and saw a pediatrician, yeah! Finally someone who knows something about kids! She was worried that he could possibly have strep, but the cultures came back negative. Jackson even got a finger prick (blood test) for strep and that was negative.
So he just has a virus, which means no antibiotic. She told me to give him some Imodium for the diarrhea and a prescription for Promethazine gel. (anti vomiting med) We shall see how he does with this.
The last few day.
Saturday: Vomiting most of the day/diarrhea, very sleepy (midnight vomiting)
Sunday: Normal Jackson/diarrhea (midnight vomiting)
Monday: Some vomiting/diarrhea, very sleepy
Tuesday: normal Jackson/diarrhea (midnight vomiting)
Wednesday: normal Jackson
We are in the routine of midnight baths and I have used a whole bottle of Tide (42 washes) in the last week on puky bedding and towels! When will this end?????????

Poor Jackson! I'm glad to see through facebook that he's feeling better!!

BTW, I love that picture in your header...did you take it at Jeff's track select? He must be excited to be starting 38s, though I know you must miss hiM!!
