The sickies

The day before Christmas Noah developed a little cough. I didn’t think too much of it at the time. Christmas morning he seemed to be feeling ok. So after he played in his super cool tunnel,

and played some more in his ball pit, (notice the static hair)

we headed to Brad’s parent’s house to spend some time with his side of the family. Once we spent an hour or so there, Noah started going downhill fast. His fever shot up and he became SO cranky. We rushed home to check his temp and it was 102.2!  FREAK OUT! So we gave him some Tylenol and a cold bath and put him to bed.

Monday morning, I was at the pediatrician’s office as soon as they opened. I figured that if I was there at 8:00am sharp, that we would be first! HAHAHAHA.

And that was after half of the line had been checked in! I had to wait in the doorway when we first got there! Crazy! But even with all those people there, we were in and out in only an hour! Anyway, Noah has lost a little bit of weight and only weighed 22 lb 13 oz!

Poor baby! And the diagnosis? My baby’s first ear infection! His right ear. That combined with his sinuses draining-causing his nose to be stuffy and all kinds of junk running down the back of his throat, causing the cough-AND he’s trying to cut a tooth! So with the tooth cutting comes a runny nose. SO runny that yesterday it started bleeding because we’ve all been wiping it so much!

I feel terrible for him and wish I could just take all his sickies away! He’s on an antibiotic now plus Tylenol for his fever. Being sick just completely wears him out and for the past two nights, he has been going to sleep at 5:45pm! And still sleeping until 6:30am.

Please pray for my sweet baby to feel better very very soon!
