so my hope of the dude sleeping off whatever sickness he had, or that it was just teething, was unsuccessful. poor dude woke up with a 102.2 fever, so i knew something wasn't right. i had to wait until 8 to call the doctors office to get an appointment. luckily though they got me in right at 840.
dr. bill took a look at him and after checking his left ear, thinks he found the culprit. little dude's first ear infection!! poor guy had to go through the nose swab of a flu test after getting gunk dug out of his ear, so needless to say, he was all snuggled up on my shoulder until we left the office.
the flu test came back negative (thank goodness), so we walked out with our antibiotic prescription and well wishes that he'll be much better for his 6 month appointment in a couple weeks. (oh my goodness...how did it get to be almost 6 months already!!!) mommy has the best medicine though. cuddles and kisses! here's hoping the little dude feels better soon!
on a side note, the dude weighed in at a whopping 16.7 pounds!!! over double his birth weight!!
mmmrrrr for the ear infection....go Graham for the hefty weight!! :)
