Blane got his first cold last Friday. :( Poor baby started coughing really bad and was congested. I decided to carry him to the doctor that morning. Word to the wise: Unless your baby is really sick, don't bother taking him to the doctor. For one thing you have to go into the Sick Child waiting room. You NEVER want to go into the sick child waiting room. It is a breeding ground for germs. I can't believe I didn't walk out of there with pnemonia. Yuck. I didn't touch anything and held Blane as close to me as I could. I hope I never have to go into that room again. Second, the doctor looked in his ears and listened to his chest then said he didn't have bronchitis or an ear infection so there was nothing she could do! They don't recommend anything for a baby under 6 months old with a cold. Thanks a lot. Lesson learned: don't go unless something is really wrong. That said.....Blane was the happiest sick baby I've ever seen. He never stopped laughing or smiling all weekend unless he was coughing.
Bo and I had planned on going to Lake Tuscaloosa for a few nights and were undecided about what to do when Blane got sick. Bo's Uncle Wade also had quadruple bypass surgery that Friday so the week was just a bust. Luckily Wade did great with his surgery and Blane seemed to be feeling some better Friday night so we decided to go. Blane spent the weekend with his Nana and Pa C. and spent Sunday with his Nana and Pop B. He was spoiled rotten I'm sure.
He is doing better with the Enfamil AR formula we switched him to. He's not spitting up near as much and his stomach issues have settled. I hate that stuff though. It will not dissolve you have shake it up forever. The other kind was much easier but if it benefits him I will do it. Blane is still doing great with daycare. His teacher commented today on how big he is getting and how he is laughing and smiling a lot now. That's my boy!! :)
