:o(

My poor baby is sick. It breaks my heart. My only comfort is that the only time he is not crying is when he's snuggled up on top of my chest. That feels good, it must be one of those weird mom things. Like only you have the power to calm your baby. I called the doctor at 8am as soon as they opened and they were able to get him in at 10:45am. His cough was concerning me, I definately don't want to chalk it up to just being a cold when in fact it turns out to be worse like pnemonia.

We went in and before I took Deagan out of his carrier Dr. Ryan listened to his chest while he was still calm. Then he took him out and listened some more while he was breathing normally. He said it didn't sound like it was in his chest. By that time Deagan was starting to wail and he listened while he cried and the result was the same. He weighed him, my baby boy is 10.5lbs! He also took his temp and it was 98.4 so he's not running a fever and checked hs ears for infection, there was none.

Dr. Ryan said it was a head cold and it would just take a few days for him to recover. In the mean time just keep aspirating his nose and keep him elevated while he sleeps so the mucus doesn't drain down to his ears and cause an infection. (Which we'd been doing that the past 2 nights anyway, mom's recommendation, thanks mom!) I'm relieved that it wasn't more serious than a cold. It still sucks to see my little man look so pitiful though. :o( Hi little eyes are runny and he HATES the aspirator. I usually do it right before his bottle so at least he can be comforted with a meal after getting him worked up. The boy has got a good set of lungs...
