Here's a first you never look forward to: First antibiotics. This past Tuesday night, Frankie was up from 1-5am and was essentially inconsolable. He wasn't screaming the entire time, but very whiny and had the toughest time going back to sleep. His temperature was just over 100 so I made a doctor appointment for him that morning to find out he had a very bad ear infection. In the doctor's words, "Well, that's a cool ear drum." My poor guy had a blister on his ear drum and droplets of blood! Thankfully as soon as we got the amoxicillin in him, it started working almost immediately. A better night's sleep and no fever the next day.
I made my patient homemade soup and he insisted on eating out of a mug just like mommy. Once I figured out that's what he wanted, he gobbled the soup up!
