Sick AGAIN!

So after 10 days of amox, 5 days of an oral steroid, a round of eye drop antibiotics, and albuteral for two days .... Skyler is sick again!

All medicines was finished on Friday. By Saturday evening, he was holding his ears and crying (hard to determine what was causing this pain at that point because Kayden and Skyler engaged in some WWF the very same evening).

On Sunday evening we noticed Skyler's eyes gooping over again. He also started holding his ears and crying about them. The ear rubbing while crying out "my ears" (you know, in that funny little forget the "a" sound way a toddler does) is a first for him ... It was nice to see that he can finally verbalize his discomfort, but it broke my heart to see him in pain!

After an entire evening of crying Mommy called the doctor and the doctor said ... We still have an ear, eye and sinus infection! We are now on a stronger antibiotic, as the last one was only supressing the infections (per the Dr.). This antibiotic is supposed to tear up the little guys digestive track, so the doctor also put him on a probiotic (Brie was giving me this advice long ago). He told us to put it in anything he eats of drinks, we told him good luck convincing him to eat or drink! We ended up putting it in ice cream tonight (this sick thing is really paying off for him).

Tonight is proving to be another restless sleep evening ... hopefully those antibiotics will start relieving his pain tomorrow. Mommy and Daddy are very tired ... Is this what it is like to have a newborn who doesn't sleep through the night (Skyler always gave us abt 8 hours)?

BTW ... we love our Doctor ! He is always great about recognizing what is wrong and putting our concerns at ease. What a blessing to have an awesome medical team available to take care of our son!
