I knew something wasn't right when Luke started getting fussy earlier this week. It is easy to tell when you have a baby that never cries! He would wake up after about two minutes of sleeping in his crib, and then when daycare called to say he only took three ounces of his bottle we knew something wasn't right. So Andy took him to urgent care on Tuesday, and sure enough, ear infection in his left ear. And conveniently timed as Andy flew out of the state on business Tuesday night! So Tuesday night was the longest night I've had since Luke's first night home from the hospital. I think we only slept a few hours. He would pass out in my arms, and then the second I would try to lay him down, he would wake up screaming. Poor little buddy! For a baby that never cries, I knew he was in some pain.
Wednesday night I gave him some Tylenol before bed and he slept better. Not in his crib though, but in his blue bouncy chair. At least he slept! He slept from 9pm - 4am in the chair, next to my bed. Though I think I was up every hour checking on him making sure he was breathing, hadn't fallen out of the chair, or had a bad reaction to the Tylenol!
Look at this face!! Last night he did much better. No Tylenol was given, and he put himself to sleep in his crib around 8pm and slept until 2am. So I slept hard and feel much better this morning.
We are hoping this is a one time deal, and we don't have the same problems that we had with Miss Hannah! Andy said next ear infection and he is calling our ENT and scheduling the tubes appointment.
