So THAT Explains It

Reading my prior post about how my crabby baby wasn't sleeping, I feel terrible. Since Matthew has been on antibiotics for his ear infection, he has:
Been sleeping
Been eating
Been happy
Not been a bad crabby apple baby

So THAT is what not being in semi-constant pain can do for a child's demeanor!

To our defence, we'd had him in to the doc the week before, suspecting something was wrong. But she sent us home saying some kids have coughs all winter, and his ears were clear, blah blah. What a difference a week makes - she spotted it as ear infection right away when he was in the following week. Mike said she almost got defensive, "this wasn't like this last week." Hey lady, I'm with you. It would kill me to think he suffered like that a whole week, so instead let's believve it just came on. Which I really think it DID, but, the precursors must have been there and made him, if not in pain, at least uncomfortable.

Anyway, three cheers to Pasteur or Newton or whoever it was - heck, it probably a mom - that came up with penicillian and it's babyfriendly cousin, amoxicilan. Within 2 days he was better, and for the first time in weeks, we sent him to bed without his copilot, baby Tylenol cold tonight. Though he still have his wingman, Humidifier, aka "Fier? Fier?"
