our sweet little thing has had a cough for the past couple of weeks. he hasn't run a fever with it, so we thought we were ok not putting a call into the doctor. when he woke up with the cough on monday morning (starting week 3), we decided it was time to put a call in...
... the nurse definitely wanted to see him; thought it might be pneumonia. not good.
so jeremy took cayden in to see dr. c yesterday and thankfully, no pneumonia. instead, he has a double ear infection. um, what? shouldn't he cry more, or at least be more upset? yeah, he wasn't... but we started his amoxicillin last night and drank it up like a pro. here's hoping that nasty cough makes its way out of here and that his ear infection clears right up...
(he weighed in at 16 pounds and 4 ounces yesterday. we'll know more on his stats dec. 1 as that's when his six month appointment is. gah! six months?)

we went last tuesday to the doc due to balin having a cough that was on week 3! He had an ear infection as well, but had low grade fever the night before we took him. Before tubes, Balin was notorious for constant ear infections...and no, Balin don't cry more or act sick or anything...we would just notice that his ears were draining some nasty junk and/or he wouldn't eat. Doc wasn't surprised he came up with an ear infection this time around because his tube had shifted and is making its way out! Good luck with his ears and hope he gets well soon!
