icky,sicky!

It's been a while since my last post. This may be due to the fact that Drake was sick 2 weeks ago & ever since then he has been attached to my hip (literally). I think he is going through early separation anxiety. He is a very smart baby. He already knows when he is at the doctor & thanks to the story I'm about to tell you, he cries the minute we arrive.

So as I said before he started coughing the weekend my sister, Courtney, moved back & it progressed to stuffiness, fussiness, pulling at his ears, etc. Then that Thursday he had a pretty high fever & his cough was significantly worse. So, we went to visit the doctor. Thank goodness we did. He had a double ear infection & pneumonia. the pneumonia was caught early & wasn't too severe, so I was able to treat him at home. This was our first sick visit & it wasn't easy on Drake. After being poked at by the nurse & doctor, I then had to take him to the lab so they could take blood (OUCHY!) & then straight to X-ray for his chest. Of course, they didn't get a good enough picture the first time they traumatized him so they had to do it all again. It was horrible. By the time they took him in for the second time, I was crying. So after like 3 hours at the doctor we head to the pharmacy & to home. So, I had to take him back the next day for a follow up. He freaked out when he saw where he was & one of his ears was worse so he had to get a shot of Rocephin. Now it's all over...he won't let me leave his side. He is slowly getting better about it. Anyway, his ear infection is gone & so is the pneumonia. He is sort of back to his normal self. On to more blogs:)
