You know how I told you that Ezekiel was sick for the first time. He's had a drippy nose for over a week. He was fine most of the day Monday and seemed pretty happy. Well, he woke up Monday night/Tuesday morning about 12:30. He wouldn't go back to sleep in his crib and kept screaming. He ended up sleeping on me the rest of the morning (and I slept only a little). He didn't feel really warm to me, but I was also very tired, before I went to work. Daniel called me around lunch time saying that his grandmother had called and was concerned. Ezekiel was fussing all morning and had slept a lot more than usual. He made an appointment, and I took my boy to the doctor at 2:30pm. It's nice to have an afternoon planning time, sometimes.
The doctor said he had fluid behind both of his ears, and it would only get worse. He prescribed a mild antibiotic. Ezekiel has been much better since. I'm not one who likes to let my child have a bunch of antibiotics just because, but I sure didn't want to go through many more nights like the one before.
I went home, clipped some coupons, and grabbed my two boys, and headed out the door to Harris Teeter. He rode in the Baby Bjorn in the store instead of the cart to make sure he wouldn't get any more sick. He napped for another hour when we got home (6-7pm). He got up for about 2 hours and was down for the count. He slept through the night that evening. He's a little still off schedule, but is doing much better.
