week two of a sick baby

my little sick one

since my last post, we have made another doctor's visit with one more to follow tomorrow. eli definitely had more than just an ear infection. after some blood work, the docs determined he had a viral infection as well. we did all the things any good parent should do: humidifier, stand in the bathroom with the shower going, raise one side of the bed, check his temp every 4 hours, give him meds when he needed them, let him nurse whenever he needed to. he igot somewhat better. he was without a fever for almost 24 hours. now it is back, but low-grade and he has a rash. his cough is still pretty bad and his throat seems really sore. so we will go back tomorrow for a quick checkup. hopefully we are nearing the end of this. i attached a couple pics from today.

mad at his mommy for not freeing him but instead laughing at him and taking his picture. sorry buddy, you were too cute not to take your pic
