Poor Sick Baby

My poor baby got his first ear infection...and it was a pretty bad one. Look at that poor little face! Fever + ear infection = lots of cuddles with mama. He got a fever on Friday, no fever Saturday or Sunday, then spiked a 102 degree fever Monday morning - right before I left for work. I called my principal to let him know I would be late, then called Brad and told him to get back home as soon as possible. Do you know how impossible it is to call in for a sub, with no sub plans written on Monday morning?! Terrible. The hubs finished up his staff meeting and then came home. I was only 10 minutes late to work and still beat the kids in. Whew. I had called the Dr., so the hubs to D-man in that morning.

Our Dr. is really good about not prescribing antibiotics unless absolutely necessary, so when Dayton came home with 10 days of amoxicillin, I knew it was bad. Poor little guy stayed home on Monday with daddy and on Tuesday with mama. I didn't mind the extra cuddles and he really wasn't all that fussy. I could tell he was feeling better by Wednesday when he went back to daycare. Poor little man. I'm sure it's the first of many though!

and done.
