It's this one, Mom.
Another baby's first memory for the baby
Poor Ash has been sick for awhile. About 2 weeks ago he got some vaccines at his well-baby visit and I was told that he might get a little sick from it and could stay sick for up to 2 weeks. Not an hour later Asher's nose started to run. Awesome.
He's never had any reactions to a vaccine before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The next day we headed to North Carolina and I figured it would clear up in a few days.
Fast forward 2 weeks and he's still sick, so I took him to the pediatrician this morning. Lo and behold, ear infection!
I. Feel. Terrible.
Bless his little heart, Ash has been such a trooper. He really didn't act sick, just had the runny nose/sneezing/coughing thing going on. His mood was fantastic! The only time he seemed sick was at night. He's been waking up and crying a ton, but I blamed the huge molars that are coming through.
At any rate, after the 2 week mark was up with no improvement, I decided to get him checked out for something more serious. And there it was - one toddler sized eardrum, red and inflamed.
Now we're the proud owners of some amoxicillan and a new medicine dropper. Here's hoping he starts feeling and sleeping better soon!
His FIRST ear infection? Way to go Asher for holding off for this long. That is great! That amoxicillin will kick in real quick. Praying that he'll heal nice and quick. ;)
ReplyDeleteBtw, I love-love his little man hair!
Poor guy! I hope he gets better soon!
ReplyDeleteI feel you. Eli got diagnosed this morning with his third ear infection in two months. NO FUN!!
ReplyDeleteAnd same as Asher, he's been in a pretty good mood (until today) but has a runny nose and goopy eyes.
Poor sick babies.
Poor Asher, hope he feels better very soon!
ReplyDeleteAww...poor gut! Hope he feels better real soon!
ReplyDeleteEar infections aren't the best but they definitely aren't the worst either. :) And this is his very first, that is quite impressive!!!! I've heard most babies have many before they even turn 1!!!! Healthy Asher!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat last picture is soooo sweet. He looks like such a super big boy!
Poor baby! Presley has never had one, but I have a feeling it wont be long. Hope he gets to feeling better very soon:)
ReplyDeleteAwww, you would never even know he was sick. He still has that sweet smile! Jack also had his first ear infection a couple weeks ago and like Asher, only had cold-like symptoms. They're tough boys! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, a trip to the zoo is in our future. I think it would be so fun, definitely moreso than last summer! We're pretty open starting May 1, with the exception of Memorial Day and 4th of July weekends. Let me know!
