Dr. Visit #3 For 2009

Looks like 2009 is potentially going to have more un-well baby visits to the doctor than in the past. We are barely into the second month and we are now at three visits for the year. Jacob wasn’t himself a fair portion of the weekend and had a really rough night last night. We figured it had been because of a cold that seems to have dragged on as well as his molars coming in. Once again he had a higher temp and was fairly lethargic from being tired. He coughed a lot of the night. So, Amy called the doctor and was able to get him in for an 8 am appointment.

The doctor’s findings is that Jacob is feeling pain from his molars coming in and his cough/cold is more than likely at its worst and will continue to get better over the next one to two weeks. His throat is also very irritated which we already knew from his almost constant cough and struggles. It was also determined that Jacob has an ear infection in both ears. He was given a prescription for this, so hopefully we will see much relief for him in the next day or so.

We have always heard that ear infection symptoms can be played off as cold, teething, etc. and we found out the hard way. Jacob is just in rough shape with the coughing, congestion, drooling, teething pain and ear pain to boot! Even with all of what he has going on, he still managed to play a ton on Saturday and even a fair amount yesterday. It sure will be nice for Jacob when he gets over all of this stuff…
