Jacob Gets Bit!
Jacob has been officially bitten by the cold bug. Mom thought he was really congested because of his noisy breathing. He was also coughing more and appeared uncomfortable. Of course, he was and has been "clingy" and making noises. Not sure if it is because he is feeling icky or he is figuring out he is making noises...
So, off to the doctor Jacob and mom went. He was pretty fussy until the doctor came in and wasn't fussy until she left. Mom thinks he has a crush on her ;)!
Jacob was checked out and his lungs and assured mom that Jacob is fine and the weasing is just noises coming from deep down. Sometimes these noises can sound like weasing, but is nothing to worry about. The doctor was surprised that his rash in different areas is still there. What she didn't know is that it did go away, but has come back. Once again, she noted that Jacob has sensitive skin and is something that we will be struggling with. This wasn't anything we were worried about, but she did suggest another over-the-counter ointment that we can use and also told us that we can grease him up more often, especially in the drier months. Jacob's eyes are also pretty goopy still and has a mild infection in his eyes causing the goop. Once again, partly due to his tear ducts still not being fully developed. So, we are back to putty drops in his eyes four times a day, for seven days. Also, Jacob was weighed and is now 12 lbs, 7 oz.
Jacob has been awake most of the day today even with being sick. He did take a nap of daddy's chest for close to an hour this evening, but has been hanging out on the floor for about the last hour. Hopefully, he will be getting tired soon, so that everyone can head to bed for at least three hours...
