...to recovery.
On Friday morning I noticed CP had a runny nose and sounded very congested. No problem, I can deal with snot. After his ridiculously long nap (which I was only slightly concerned about since he had played with Ayden and Sophia for hours while their mommy and I watched the royal wedding!) he woke up with a temp of 101.5. No problem, I gave him some Motrin. Saturday morning he was fine. Buckets of green snot, but no temp. Super. Saturday afternoon he was very restless during his nap and when he woke up he was a disaster. Temp of 102 and pulling on his ear saying, "Ouch!" Uh-oh. Bad sign! He was an absolute zombie on my shoulder and moaning in pain. I gave him some Motrin and called the on-call doctor. By the time they returned my call he was running around again (God bless the maker of Motrin!). They told me that since the Motrin was making him comfortable he didn't have to be taken to an Urgent Care facility that evening. We could watch him and wait until the next day. He slept well that night, but JZ and I had already decided he would stay home from church and I would go since I had some singing stuff to do. He texted me in the middle of the service saying CP was a mess and they were headed to Urgent Care. I finished up at church and met them there. When I walked in I could hear CP crying :( His left ear was infected and his right ear was red. They gave him a dose of Motrin and two prescriptions - one for antibiotics and one for ear drops. Last night he was still snotty, but much happier. He slept a good 13 hours last night and is a new kiddo today...
bouncing off the walls (actually he bounced off the couch and got a boo-boo that *needed* ice)
being silly
but still needing a little snuggle time
On the road (to a healthy, happy toddler) again!
