Momma (and MeMom) know best!

RJ has been fighting a cold for at least two weeks (probably more like three weeks) and this week he has gotten even more fussy. I tried to blame it on teething, but his appetite has decreased and he was just acting miserable. So on Thursday with the urge of MeMom Daddy took RJ to the doctor for a 2pm visit. Verdict? No ear infection! What? No ear infection... I really thought there would be an ear infection...hmm... then what is his problem? Daddy brought him home and RJ went down for a 3+ hour nap. RJ never takes that long an afternoon nap! Something must be wrong... YUP... he woke up with a 101 fever. Urgh! He was a sad, miserable, in pain little guy! He barely ate supper, and what he did eat he ate while being hand fed on my lap. He went to bed with the help of Motrin and slept off and on for the night. He woke up with a 102.7 fever. I was already at work when he woke up and Daddy was heading to work. Grandmom was coming over to watch the kiddos. What to do... Now I really think it is an ear infection, what to do... do I leave school and take him to the doctor AGAIN? I called the doctor and they said yes I would have to bring him in again. yiyiyi... I was hoping for a script! They said they were pretty full in the afternoon so the latest appointment they could give me was 11am. (It was 9:45 at this point). What was I going to say? I took it! I went and told the secretary that I was leaving (why did I even come to school?), jumped in my car and sped home, picked up the babe, and sped to the doctor. Got to the doctor a few minutes late but were taken almost immediately! Doctor came in and looked in both ears. Double ear infection! RJ had lots of gook in his eyes and the doctor said that the gook was being pushed out by his sinuses attached to the ear infection. Really docs? He had no signs of an ear infection yesterday?! Less than 24 hours ago? Urgh... At least we get medicine now so his misery is almost to an end... this time! Lots of cuddle time today!
