Deagan does have an ear infection after all. We took him back to Dr. Ryan today. He was running a temp of 101 degrees. He checked him out again and as soon as he stuck the little light in his ear Deagan started screaming bloody murder... it was the loudest and most intense I've ever heard him cry. Poor baby. :o( We got a prescription for ammoxicillin and he told us to get some baby Tylenol.
I tried to give him the ammoxicillin before his bottle. I figured it would help wash the medicine down. That was a huge mistake... It came up right after his burp, all of it. And this wasn't just a little spit up. He launched it, all of it! I had to bathe him and change my clothes there was so much. I didn't give him any more medicine since he'd had it in his system about 20 minutes before the bottle. I don't wanna overdose him...
He just got done eating, he wouldn't even finish 2 ounces. I gave him some Tylenol since he seemed a little fussy and whiny. I'm sure his little ears are hurting... I hope that Tylenol makes it feel better. I'll try the ammoxicillin again AFTER his next bottle. Dr. Ryan said with the antibiotic and Tylenol combined he should be feeling better tomorrow morning. He's gonna call me in the morning to check on him.
I'm really happy with my pediatrician choice. First of all, that's HIS practice and he's the only doctor there. So Deagan gets really personal attention. He has a twin brother that has a family practice also in our town, so when he goes on vacation we can go to his brother's facility and it's no big deal. I found out that I actually know his wife. She comes into the copy center a lot. She does homeschooling, they have 6 or 7 kids I believe. So I know he really loves kids which is why he does what he does. On top of it all he's just an all around nice guy.
