Interesting couple of days...

I took Adam to the doctor the other day because of the cough that won't go away. The night prior it seemed he was coughing every 30 seconds or so. He had a slight temp, and was just really somber most of the week so far. We get into the doctor's office and, of course, he's no longer coughing... AND no sooner do I tell the doctor about his demeanor lately - my boy starts freaking out on the crinkle paper on the doctor's table - laughing, cooing, stomping his feet, etc. So we got sent home with "it's just a cold"

Well.... Adam wakes up this morning with a slight temp again, and we debated staying home but we took him to daycare. They called about 9am because Adam's temp was about 101. The doctor wanted to see him again so Jenny took him to the doctor. While in the pediatrician's office she saw the same doctor I had seen and he said something to the effect of "I had a gut feeling there was something more when he came in the other day" (yeah, thanks Dr Pricko). Anyway the pediatrician sent him to the hospital for a chest xray and blood work.

Xrays showed something cloudy on his chest but they ruled out pneumonia. His white blood count was elevated, so there's an infection somewhere. So he's on amoxicillin and we are still waiting on results from blood culture (48 hours).

So probably going to be a pretty quiet weekend coming up... Happy Mother's Day!

May 1st

What happened to April?????

Not much going on at casa de Flenar... Mom is a bit better but coughing still is painful. She was told it could be a few weeks for the pleurisy to run its course. Adam's nose is stuffy, but he's doing fine.

He's jabbering a bunch now. If you do "ho, ho, ho" to him he will usually make his "oh" noise in a series of three, he does the same with "love you" but that one is more of "ah oh" - or maybe that's just what we want to hear. He keeps us entertained, that's for sure.

Bath night tonight, be prepared for another tub episode story tomorrow.

Weekend

Adam is doing a bit better, although we found out something new this morning.... His nose is still a bit congested, and his eye kept getting matted - which we had drops for. We were told this morning to stop using the drops as the goop in his eye is very likely from his backed up nasal cavity... and I thought eye boogers was just a term used after a good night's sleep.

He rolled over this weekend a few times. This time instead of pushing his head up and flopping over because the weight of his noggin - he threw his legs up, rolled to his side, got stuck on his arm, got that out of the way eventually, and then on to the belly - smiling. I ran to get the video camera like a dork but we waited to long and he was tired by the time I got back. I'll get him doing it this week though.

The good, the bad, and the ugly

The good: Adam slept for 8 hours last night! Couldn't believe it, I figured "Mr Mom" would be up with him most the night, because:

The bad: Jenny's sick. She has walking pneumonia and pleurisy, so she's home today - hopefully sleeping...

The ugly: (yeah right)

Weekend

"We've got a bleeder"

So don't quite have the fingernail cutting thing down yet. Last night was the 2nd time we clipped instead of filing and it didn't go great. Started out fine, we were doing it while he ate so that he was distracted and calm... next thing I know he jerked a bit, he's screaming, and his middle finger is nice and reddish purple. It sounds worse than it really was, it stopped bleeding pretty quick but man does that boy have some lungs!

He slept like a champ though - down at 11, up at 5:30 - longest stretch to date. YES! Hope to start putting him down earlier and see how it goes going forward.
