We're heading back to the doctor's office again this morning - the fourth time in the last week. They baby is still throwing up, has developed a rash all over his body, can't stop coughing...we're into this six weeks now. I'm feeling desperate - and still utterly exhausted from dealing with pneumonia.
Why can't they help him get well? I don't just want to sit and listen, watch and wait.
UPDATE: 5 hours later
The baby has Roseola and an ear infection and the rash is ghastly...it's spread all over his entire little body. There's a strong likelihood that we'll be making a trip to the hospital tonight for IV fluids.
I'm supposed to sit, watch and wait.

We are all still sick.
Our pediatrician explained that Baby Boyhas a new virus that has planted itself over the old virus. Huh? He's on antibiotics and I am going to my doctor today to see about a chest x-ray. Apparently, it's not a good sign that my lungs are crackling...what-with surgery looming a few weeks away.
Husband was gone for 5 days to attend his dad's funeral. He came home somber and pensive. The baby was sick the entire time - vommiting, congestion, etc. I think it's fair to say that we are all wiped out.
