We've had a sick little guy! He ran a fever a couple of days ago but it went down but he woke up this morning with a 102.3 fever. His eyes have been really watery, he's been congested and has a cough and runny nose. I stayed home with him today and took him to the doctor this morning, he weighed 19 pounds 11 ounces. He has an upper respiratory infection and blocked tear ducts. He will cough so much he throws up. Poor little guy.
I was going to leave work at lunch anyway because he had an appointment this afternoon with a Pediatric Surgeon at Nemour's for a little bump on the bottom of his foot. I'm not sure if he was born with it or if he got it soon after but he's had it for a long time. I finally remembered to show it to his pediatrician at his last well visit and she wasn't sure what it was so she referred us to the surgeon.
He said it was probably nothing to worry about, he was positive it is benign and it's only on the flesh, it doesn't go any deeper. He does want to check it again in two months to see if it's changed any. If it has to be removed, he will have to be put to sleep. I don't want him to have to go through that but I also don't want it to grow and affect his walking.
