Sick Jackers...

My poor little man has been fighting illness for a little over a week.  We took him to the immediate care last friday night and they said his ears, throat, and lungs all looked/sounded good and it was just a virus.  Well, 4 days later, he isn't much better - still stuffy, lots of ugly looking gunk coming out of his nose, coughing, and really pretty fussy and abnormal for him.  I called the ped this morning to get him in...thankfully I did.  He has a combination ear and sinus infection.  Poor baby!  No wonder he's fussy - he's got to be in pain!  We started him on medication tonight, hopefully he'll start getting better rather soon.  We also got his first synagis(RSV) shot for the season and likely will get those up until April.  He hasn't been wanting too many solids lately because of being sick but at least he's been taking his bottles consistently and he got weighed again today and he's now up to 16lb 9oz - a whole pound bigger than he was just over a month ago!  I think at this point a pound a month is pretty good! :)  We'll at least get a weight check each month now because of the synagis shot, so we'll have a good consistent scale to go off of.  On a sad note, our fantastic ped is leaving the practice to specialize in kids with ADHD, so we are switching to one of the other docs in the practice. 

Keep thinking good thoughts for Jack to get better soon!!!
