Blueberries. . . jury is still out, going to try again tomorrow
We had our first trip to the pediatrician yesterday due to a sick baby. I'm incredibly grateful that it didn't come until he is 9 months old, but it was still really hard. He had still been running a low grade fever that just wasn't breaking, so we called the nurse yesterday and she said to bring him in. He has a cold which progressed into a double ear infection and 2 "goopy" eyes (no, that wasn't the doctor's term, but I don't remember what she called all of it!). I knew it was bad when the doctor came in, took all of our family current sickness history, and them promptly left and came back wearing a mask and gloves! I'm not joking, she really did!!! So, he's on antibiotics, which he doesn't mind, and ear drops, which he hates. Today, he pretty much just cried and fussed all day. Luckily Brian had the day off, so he was able to comfort him all day long. I'm starting to get better, but my cold progressed into a sinus infection and I think it's going to linger a little longer. Hopefully we'll be better by Monday and be able to enjoy at least one day of the long weekend : )
PS - I really don't know how Michael and Krista deal with Tristan being sick as much as he is. They are truly saints. Brian and I were crying our eyes out the last few days and JJ just has a small cold!
Oh, wait, I almost forgot, JJ did probably my favorite advancement today! As were walking into the house, I was carrying him. We got to the door and I said, "JJ, please shut the garage door." He then leaned in and pushed the button, then looked over to make sure it closed!!! Really, he did! He is getting to be so useful now, and yes, that is the reason why I had a child, for the help!
Poor Babies -- all of you! Sick babies are no fun; they don't understand; all they want to do is be comforted - we'll pray for the sick bugs to leave and sunshine to come in! Love, FGA
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the illnesses, but glad you're all improving. As to the garage door opener, of course he's interested in helping with anything that has power! Start saving now for that hot rod vacuum cleaner, if you really want him to be helpful.
ReplyDeleteHeard via the Graham Grapevine, you all are feeling some better....that's a very good thing! FGA
ReplyDeleteHas brian told you about all my ear problems as a baby. Sure he got all the allergies, but no one had ear problems like me. Hopefully JJ doesnt take after his auntie dana. Although I want him to take after me in something, but ok ok not that. Im in bed not feeling good too, but thats cause I worked a grave yard shift. Wish I could have seen JJ hit the garage door closer. So cute.
ReplyDeleteAwww.. poor baby!! So glad he's on meds now, though. It's really not fun to have a sick baby. The first time we had to take Elijah to the doc for being sick was with a stomach bug. It's so hard when you feel so helpless. Hope you all feel better soon, and yes, it is so fun when they start "helping." Pretty soon he will start trying to "help" you with all sorts of things! :)
