The First Ear Infection

Now I have seen Andrew "sick" before, but the sick I've seen is snot, coughing and some mild crabbiness to go along with this. His first ear infection was somewhat worse unfortunately!

I knew something was wrong because my little amazing sleeper/super smiley boy wasn't either of these things. I could tell that cry was a hurting cry. Reminded me of when he was a little baby and that reflux was probably bothering him. I can usually handle crying, but only if I'm able to comfort him. This time was different and it was so sad. With sad cries we got ready to go to Goodnight Pediatrics at 10:30 p.m. on Friday night. Luckily he stopped crying in the car and seemed better at the doctor's office. Too much to check out around him!

They determined he had an ear infection and gave him a breathing treatment to help with the congestion in his chest. Finally got home around midnight and thankfully he went right to sleep once home. Still woke up at 6 a.m. the next morning though...He has an internal clock that he never changes!

With antibiotics, he was better by Sunday thank God! 

Now that's the face I like to see!

Let's hope this weekend is better, because the weekend before this it was me sick with the flu. Bad/good news was that my friend Lexie was here. Bad that our weekend was cut short, but good she was here to take over all day Saturday while I was super sick! Andrew didn't mind one bit that she was taking over for me--he could tell she was a great mommy.
