Sickie

So the New Year didn't start out all that great for our little guy. Here we were all set for the year and the week - had our Christmas stuff down on Sunday, laundry done Sunday night, blog up to date, house cleaned, ready for a relaxing Monday off of work...only to wake up Monday knowing that Trevor wasn't feeling so hot. Poor guy laid low on Monday because he was running a low grade fever. Overnight it worked its way up to 102.5 so we knew he wasn't going to daycare. Sara stayed home with him on Tuesday and brought him to the pediatrician where he was diagnosed with a sinus infection - not ear - can you believe it? They put him on Zithromax because of the severe congestion in his nose and throat. Well, Wednesday Brian stayed home with him because his fever wasn't going down and he was still miserable. On Thursday Sara stayed home with him and his fever went up over 103. Poor kiddo just couldn't catch a break! On Friday Sara took him back to the doctor and learned his congestion was still bad so they put him on a higher dose of antibiotics.

Well, it looks like all of the rest and new antibiotics worked because today Trevor woke up fever free and was back to his happy self. Thank goodness! We were starting to get worried!! He still has a cough and sounds like a lung is going to come up but the pediatrician said it was just a natural reaction for him to cough with all of the drainage going down his throat. Best news - our good eater's appetite is back! He lost 2 pounds from Tuesday-Friday because of his lack of eating.

Here are some pictures Mommy took with her phone during the day of T sleeping. She's not sure there is anything more precious than watching your baby sleep...especially knowing how much he needs it!


You'll notice that Trevor much preferred sleeping on Mommy than by himself so naps were taken on the couch or floor with Mommy....


....she got very good cuddling with one arm and working with the other!




His trusted Skip It was never far behind whether T was awake or asleep!




Really, is this all that comfy T? We guess so!


This was the best...he was sprawled out across Mommy's lap even though it meant his head was lower than his chest. Definitely not good for his congestion but he had no problem sleeping!
