Intestinal Infection Update...

The pediatrician looked over the info but really didn't have anything helpful to tell us so I forwarded it on to Missy - whom I probably just should have asked in the first place. She said the medicine he is being given is the same kind of medicine people are given if they go somewhere like Mexico and drink the water. He probably got the infection from the water mixed with his formula and it isn't any big deal. Easily treated and as he spends time there he will become use to the water.

The other thing she told me - which was really helpful - was that what we have to remember for long term is that these medicines gave him a rash. So the class of antibiotics that he is taking we will not want to give him in the future. Done and done! So great to have a smarty-nurse-best-friend. On Monday I am going to ask the pediatrician again and tell her what Missy said to make certain she remembers this information for when he comes home but no worries for now.
