Rogan and I made our first trip to immediate care today. He woke up this afternoon with a 100+ fever, and I saw him tug at his ear a few times, so a little tylenol and off we went. He was great at the clinic, he let the doc look in his ears and listen to his chest. And he sat in my lap and we read books while we waited. His fever was down to 99 but he does have the beginnings of an ear infection in the left ear. So we have 5 days of antibiotics with Tylenol for the next 36 hours for pain relief. Poor guy. He was feeling so icky tonight. I'm pretty sure he will wake up in the night, but that's fine. We will go rock and sleep in the chair like we did when he was only weeks old.
I also asked the doctor about "the look" his gives people. He puts his head down and looks at you through the top of his eyes. He did it while we were there so she saw what i was talking about. She didn't seem too concerned about it, but mentioned getting his eyes checked. He doesn't do it all the time, and he's more than capable of seeing little food bits and picking them up to eat. He ate white mozzarella cheese off his white tray with no problem. But I would rather get him checked out to be safe. I am going to call his pediatrician tomorrow to let him know about todays appt, they will probably want to see him in a week or so, so whenever we go in next i'll ask about a pediatric eye dr in the area.
Here's hoping for a quiet night, and that Rogan gets the rest he needs.
