And the saga continues ....

Okay so I don't know how this happened so quickly, but since Tyler's appointment on the 6th ... so much has happened. Here's a quick break down.

June 7-8 - Tyler was a little fussier than normal. Threw up some juice. Had a runny nose. Sleeping very poorly compared to before. He was almost sleeping through the night ... but now he wakes up several times crying.

June 9 - Went to daycare and ended up with a fever of 101.8 and got sent home. Mommy took him to the doctor to find out he has an EAR INFECTION! Different medicine this time. (an amoxicillin mix, twice a day for 10 days). He took it and his fever went down and all seemed well. Still a rather long night.

June 10 - Had a little trouble getting medicine in Tyler. Tastes pretty bad (mommy tried it). It takes both mommy and daddy to give it to him. Forcefully making him take it ... leads him to gag and spit it all up. No fever and since ear infections aren't contagious he went to daycare. Stayed at daycare the entire day, but had a rough day. Wasn't his usual self. (they said). Fussy fussy fussy ... slight fever at night. Appetite is less. Won't drink his bottle, but will take some solid foods. Had a hard time with the medicine again, this time he forcefully threw up. Another long night.

June 11 - still had a slight fever in the morning. Refuses to take medicine. We tried mixing it in his food, but he knows better! Plus he still won't drink or eat much. Mommy WFH to take care of Tyler. She went back to the pharmacy to add more flavoring to the medicine. Tyler still won't take it. He's probably getting less than half of what he should be. (but at least he didn't spit up or throw up) Fever gone. He's been eating mostly puffs, but at least that's something. Another long night.

June 12 - No fever and seemed in a bit better mood. Gave as much medicine as we could in his milk and food. Tried daycare -- mommy had a few things she needed to do at work. After feeding him breakfast @ daycare he threw up. Mommy went to get him and took him back to the doctor. Ear infection getting worse, probably since he isn't taking his full dose of medicine. New plan ... no more oral medicine. Injection time. 2 injections 1 in each leg. Tyler CRIES a lot. At home, mommy and daddy need to run the shower really hot and let Tyler sit in the steam for a good 10 minutes per doctor orders. This is to help relieve some of the pressure on his ears which causes the pain. In addition, he also prescribed an ear drop which acts like an anesthesia to also help with the pain. Mommy was very excited about this, as she was not happy seeing Tyler in pain. As if things weren't hard enough ... these stupid drops were like honey! We had to hold Tyler on his side for a good few minutes to get them to seep in his ear. He screamed the entire time! And as you can probably guess ... yet another long night.

June 13 - Mommy takes off from work to take care of Tyler. Another doctor's appointment for the next dose via shots. Somehow Tyler has lost a pound. He is also quite needy and wants constant attention. Luckily mommy is here to do just that. They play together, run a few errands, and nap. Used ear drops and did another steam. Overall, it was a pretty good day. Night, still not very good. :(

June 14 - Weekend is here. Daddy and mommy both caring for Tyler. He seems to be doing A LOT better. Eating a little more. Back to the doctor for another set of shots. He gained a few oz back. :) Still doing drops and steaming. Things are starting to look up again.

June 15 - Father's day! Tyler helps mommy make breakfast in bed for daddy. Then its offer to the doctor for the last day of shots. After a long nap ... Tyler is in a MUCH better mood. He started drinking his bottles and eating like normal today. Mommy and daddy were really happy! Continuing with steaming ... drops not needed anymore.

WHEW! Like I said, A LOT has happened. Let's all hope, this one is now behind us.
