What a CRAZY 2 weeks!

Our poor little prince has been so sick these last two weeks.

It all started out with a really nasty and weird rash on his entire face. No where else, just his face. Nothing we did at home would make it go away so we went to the doc to see what they thought. Diagnosis: Contact dermatitis and/or eczema.  Okay..great!

4 days later, Remi came down with a stomach bug. He had a 103 temp for 2 days straight, wouldn't eat and had diarrhea every 20 mins for 4 days straight!!! NOT FUN! And of course with diarrhea brings rashes. So he developed the WORST rash i'd ever seen everywhere 'down there'. -- so now hes got a rash on his face, super duper diarrhea and a rash on his 'private parts' and no appetite and slight dehydration. Back to the doctor we went. Doctor said he's definitely caught a 'bug' and gave us some cream to put on BOTH rashes. He also said he could see that his nose was stuffy so to expect some boogers too. Awesome.....

That night, Rem develops a nasty cough. Weird 'cause it seriously came out of nowhere. We shrugged it off thinking it could just be his boogers draining to his throat since doc had mentioned his nose looked stuffy. So we went on with our life. With in 2-3 days, he got really congested in his chest and developed another 103 fever. You could hear a "gurgle" sound when he'd breathe. He was super cranky, would not sleep and started losing his appetite once again. We gave him some albuterol treatments hoping it would help clear his chest up. Another 3 days passed and he was sounding worse. So back to the doctors we go (3rd time in 2 weeks) His doctor immediately sent him in for a chest x-ray. Diagnosis: Bronchitis AND pneumonia...... Seriously????  So now our poor guy is on some super strong antibiotics 2x a day for 10 days.

His face rash is gone though, his stomach bug has left and the rash on his bottom has cleared. So now if we can just get past this bronchitis and pneumonia, then mommy and daddy will be VERY happy.
