SICK

Ladies and Gentelmen of the Interweb,
We had our first real infection. At 13 1/2 months old, Nash had to go on his first round of antibiotics. After nearly two weeks of a cold with runny nose, stuffy nose, watering eyes, and severe discomfort, I took him to the doctor's office, where he was diagnosed with a double ear infection. Boo.

Luckily, he's not allergic to penicillin and he started feeling better right away. His ears are now draining and he's on the way toward great health. He does have one lingering side effect that we call, "drunk baby." Poor guy's equilibrium is off kilter and he's constantly falling over. Hopefully this improves soon too because it's sad to watch.

A popcicle for our sad guy.

He still smiled through it all. Check out that swollen face. :(

:( Poor Nashie. I hope he's feeling better. Jack started his first round of antibiotics yesterday. Sinus infection.
Boo for sick babies!

Oh. Just realized this was posted over 2 weeks ago. I knew he was sick and know he is feeling better by now. Silly me.
