Achy Ear

All weekend Alex was kind of grumpy. On Friday night I thought it was because I had him so bundled up for the football game. (We don't want to talk about the game because we lost and the playing conditions were terrible!!) Saturday night he only wanted his Mom when we were the Surratt's and Sunday he wasn't very happy either. Alex was also constipated on Sunday, so I had to go to the pharmacy and get suppositories for him. They worked like a charm!!

On Monday I got a call from the daycare saying Alex was running a 100.5 temp, fussy, wouldn't sleep and wasn't taking his bottle. I went and picked him up, took him home, and called the Doctor. He fell asleep on Mommy and did that for most of the evening. He slept pretty good that night, and we got up and went to the Dr. in the morning. After weighing it at 18lbs 10 oz, the Physician's Assistant, Tracy came in and checked Alex out. She had to dig lots of wax out of his right ear, and then determined that he did indeed have an ear infection. Daddy had a lot of ear infections growing up and so did Mommy's brothers. I'm thinking this is going to be an ongoing problem!! So, we then made a trip to the pharmacy for our first prescription and got some Amoxicillin. He slept a good part of the day (and so did I), but I did manage to get all the clothes that he has outgrown packed up and ready to be stored until another little baby comes (it's going to be a while folks!!)

Alex seems to be feeling better and is taking his medicine like a champ. He had even managed to poop up his back by the time I got him to daycare this morning!! Oh the joys of parenthood!!
