Sick Day

Well -- Erik is now on his first ever course of antibiotics. He did pretty good making it 15 months without them but now he is really a sick little baby. He has had cold after cold this fall. Recovering pretty well in between. He came down with his last cold the week before Thanksgiving. He seemed to recover except for a lingering cough that we heard mainly at night. Yesterday, Erik was very clingy and fussy but didn't have a fever. He started coughing and sneezing in the evening and before we put him to bed I noticed he had some drainage in his eyes. His eardrums also looked a little pink so I told Victor I would probably take him in the next day because he didn't seem right.

Well, overnight he vomited multiple times and had a high fever (103.2). So needless to say into the doctor we went -- he agreed with the pink eardrums so Erik is now on Amoxicillin for a double ear infection with a bonus of pink eye plus occasional vomiting which seems to be associated with coughing.

Poor baby!!! He is sure snugly. He has laid on either Victor or me since 10:00 pm yesterday (it is now 1 in the afternoon). At the moment he is laying on the couch watching his first ever movie. I know he feels terrible if he is actually willing to lay down.

We are hoping he feels better soon.

Here are some cute photos of our sick boy...

Watching veggie tales....
