Yesterday we discovered that Justin has/had a double ear infection. It started Friday when he spiked a fever and by late afternoon, he was miserable and didn't want out of my arms. I literally held him in my arms for about 18 hours straight (all through the night included). We couldn't seem to get his fever to go any lower than 102.8 even with Motrin or Tylenol. We called the on-call ped's a few times to make sure we shouldn't rush him to the ER, but they just had us wait it out until Saturday morning when a doctor could see him. Around 1 am, he started vomiting because of his fever. My poor baby was just so miserable. The pediatrician decided to give him a shot of rocephin in the office in fear he would not get any antibotic down that day any other way. We are so glad she did because he felt so much better and the fever finally broke only an hour after going in. Sunday he was feeling soo much better and by Sunday night, he was pretty much back to his usual self. I'm so glad that is behind us. I hate my babies being sick! :(
Here's proof he was feeling better by the evening. Justin will seriously climb ANYTHING he can(and you can tell by his face he gets a thrill from danger!). Earlier today I caught him standing on top of his push toy that he pushes around the house. We still can't figure out how that didn't fall over when he climbed aboard, and tonight he discovered that if his daddy forgets to put the leg rest down, he can use it to get himself onto the coffee table. I swear I won't be able to turn my back for even a second for the next few years!
