This week...let's see. Tyler started to run a fever on Sunday night--nothing major but still a fever. Monday it got a little worse still not bad. 100.5 Tuesday I could tell that he didn't feel good at all. Troy picked him up from the sitters house and he was running a fever of 102.2 so I took him into the walk-in clinic and she said that he right ear drum was bulging surprised it hadn't burst. He never once complained about it. The lymph node on the left side of his neck is swollen and enlarged (we have been fighting this issue since September). It will swell up, go down, swell up again. Never ending cycle. They put him on an antibiotic and told me to take him to his regular doctor in a few days.
I took Tyler to his regular pediatrician on Friday and the ear drum was much better. However he has lost 4 lbs since our last visit. Since he never wants to eat anything and the 4 lbs lost we decided to do a complete CBC w/differential. We also did an ultrasound on the lymph node to see what is going on there. I guess I will find out what is going on this week. We have the hardest time getting Tyler to eat anything anymore (he says I don't like food). What 3 1/2 year old doesn't like food. It seems like he doesn't sleep well anymore either.

Picture taken in January..cheeks are fuller here.

Picture taken earlier this evening. You can tell that his cheeks are thinner.
