Well, poor little monkey surprised us and has his 1st ear infection! Poor thing! As you can see from the pictures above...he wasn't letting on at all that he wasn't feeling up to par. (we spent the afternoon w/ Connor, Sarah, and Barb at Burnsville Mall...got some new shoes/boots, had lunch, and ran off some energy on the cool projector floor!)
I called the pediatricians office today because he's been coughing so much at night and it's going on 2 weeks. We noticed that it was waking him up so much in the middle of the night (not that he'd cry out or anything) that it was affecting his mood a little during the day. He just didn't seem as happy and energetic as he usually is. So, the nurse said to go ahead and bring him in.
Thankfully we did, because I never would have guessed he had an ear infection! He hasn't been running a fever and hasn't really been tugging on his ears (anymore than what little kids normally do). Anyways, we got a prescription of immoxicillan (1 tspn/ 2x day) for 10 days...hopefully that will clear up his lingering cold, the cough, and the poor ear!
