Sick AJ - STILL

I had to take Andrew to the dr this morning. He has had a cold for about three weeks now and has not completely shook it. Yesterday he started getting really fussy and clingy - which is not like Andrew (the fussy part anyway). We did not sleep AT ALL last night. He could not breath, he was coughing and sneezing, etc. So, I got up early (later than normal, but early because the boys were not up yet) got dressed and sat on hold for 25 minutes with the drs office. Apparantly the girls that answer the phone got there late this morning!

We went in and they weighed him - he weighed 16 POUNDS 3 OUNCES. That is major for him!! Apparantly his high calorie diet is working - which means he can start going on a diet! He was just over 15 pounds a couple of weeks ago!

He has two ear infections. This really surprised me because when Andrew is not feeling well he plays with his ears. He has not been playing with his ears so I did not expect and ear infection at all much less two! The dr said that all of the fluid from the cold got in his ears and that is why he has not been able to shake the cold. He is on Amoxicillin now. Still very fussy and clingy and unhappy. Looks like a garbage-pail kid! Snot ALWAYS covering his face, covered in throw up... His poor face has broken out from all the snot, tissues and burp cloths we have been wiping his face with. Poor baby!!
