So, yesterday was a very long and hard day for both Andrew and I. He had a fever all day and I gave him Tylenol and it wasn't doing anything. He wouldn't eat anything or drink much and just kept crying and whining and just didn't seem to be feeling very good. I was thinking he was just teething but he already has 7 teeth and the teeth that I know that come next aren't supposed to until he is about 2. If i'm correct. So Chad came home from work about 5 and he just held him and snuggled on the couch while I made dinner. After I made dinner and came to check on him, he was worse. His eyes were so very red and swollen . He was so hot and so I finally said thats it...we are taking him into the on call doctor. Which was weird because it was a total different office and different doctor. But we took him about 7 and found out he has a DOUBLE ear infection! Plus his fever and runny nose and if he is teething then his teeth. Poor little Andrew!! He got his anti-biotic and we bought some motrin instead and he is doing much better today. Eating more and much more himself! We have been so very blessed that he hasn't really gotten that sick until now. This is his first ear infection. I just have to say he is one strong boy! It is so hard on us parents when our kids are sick. You don't really know it until your actually in the situation. I wished that I could just be magic and get rid of it all and he would be completly fine. But we can't and all we can do is be the best parents ever.
I am so GRATEFUL that out of all nights this week Chad was able to be home. He worked every other night and could have worked last night but didn't. I couldn't have done last night with out him. I am so grateful for Chad and for all that he does for our family! He is such an amazing dad and husband! Especially when working two jobs and being in the Elder's Quorm presidency..let's just say he is very busy! I love him so much! I love being a mom and a wife! I have such a great life and am so grateful for it all!

I remember Will's first ear infection, which also was a double ear infection. It was horrible! I couldn't figure out what was wrong! I'm glad Andrew is doing better now! Antibiotics are wonderful!
Poor babe! It's hard to hang in there, for all of you! You're a good mama!
and I am so sorry that Andrew is not feeling good I hope he starts to feel better. We love him lots
We know the ear infections routine all too well. You are so lucky this was his first! I'm so glad Chad was able to help and SO glad Andrew is doing better!! The bad thing...you will always wonder know "does he have an ear infection??" That part stinks! :)
Ah yuck, my we had to take my baby in last Monday and he had double ear infections too...then at our check up today the dr. said it wasn't much better, so not fun! He's been pretty happy though and if he hadn't had a fever I would have never known. I hope Andrew feels better fast!
