Ear Infection, Teeth Total=6 & Starting to Walk!

Hey Mr Liam,

This post is a bit late but I wanted to document it.  On Aug 9 Nanna called me at work that you weren't yourself, you had slept from when I dropped you off until lunch and wouldn't eat.  You had started to get a cold so I asked her to take your temp and I would call your doctor.  Sure enough you were at 102.  Your doctor's office confirmed that they would like to see you, especially because you were lethargic.  I left work and picked you up from Nanna's, back at home we had over an hour until your appointment so we sat in the rocking chair in your room and just snuggled.  Nanna was right, you weren't yourself, you are always on the go, not one to cuddle for an hour.

Before we knew it we were at the Dr H's office.  You weighed in at 21.2lbs and 29 inches.  Even the nurse commented that you weren't yourself.  Dr H came in and examined you, sure enough....ear infection.  These are common since you are teething with your top two teeth.  He called us in a rx for amoxicilin, gave us a few pointers and said he'd see us at your next appointment.

Back at home you were still a sad little guy.  You didn't sleep well that night either, I had to get up a couple times and rock you which means I took the next day off work to just care for you.  The next day you almost looked grey, you even had little dark circles under your eyes, it was so sad.

That was almost two weeks ago, you have finished your medicine and are totally healthy again, Thank God!  And two more teeth, on the bottom, are coming through!  You are going to have a mouth full of teeth before we know it!

Not only all this but you are getting really good at taking steps!  You will take about four in a row before you drop to your bottom and crawl.  You can stand independently really well too.  Dadda thinks it will be a week before you are walking, I'm not sure but you are so very close!

Everyday is so exciting, we love you so very much!

Hello Sweet Liam,

Well unfortunately I had to take you to the doctor last week, you just weren't yourself.  You wouldn't eat (that never happens) and were sleeping a ton, when Nanna called to say you were "a limp noodle who just wanted to cuddle" I called your doctor's office and they had me bring you in.

Nanna was right, we had an hour from when I left work to get you and your appointment and all you did was sit on my lap.  We sat in your rocking chair in the cool and dark of you room and just snuggled, poor little guy I could tell you had a fever.

At Dr. H's office your temp was 102. Sad.  Even Dr H's nurse sad "this is not Liam at all" as you had a continual dialog of a low whine.  It was as if you were telling anyone who would listen "I don't feel good."  She weighed you (21.2lbs) and measured you (29 inches). Then we waited for Dr. H.

I think you've begun to associate Dr H with shots (even though his nurses administer them) because you are never really excited to see  him.  Dr H examined you, in yoru right ear there was apparently too much wax so he pulled out a small purple plastic stick with a loop on the end.  He assured me it wouldn't hurt you but feel very strange.  I think you would disagree you cried and cried.....and peed through your diaper and all over me.  No big deal, you weren't feeling well, it's only a shirt and it can be washed.  Dr. H gave us a clean diaper, said you had  a ear infection and prescribed amoxicilin two times a day for ten days.  He even pointed out that one of your teeth is popped through and the other should be through by the end of the ten days, yay!

I took you home to snuggle, called Dadda to pick up some things from the grocery story and your meds.  Today we are half way through and you are already doing great.  (Last night I was laying in the recliner not feeling well and you were playing on the floor, you kept getting up and hugging my feet over and over, you are certainly my Sweet Liam.)

Last night you spent the night at Grandma's as I was pretty sick.  I am sure you are having a great day, you love G'ma and G'pa and they love you lots!

Love you to the moon and back,
Momma
