My Poor Baby...

Late yesterday afternoon when Whit awoke from his nap, I noticed some yellowish gunk in his eye and decided to call the pediatrician's office because I thought he might have some sort of an eye infection. When I talked to the nurse, she told me that this was actually a common symptom of an ear infection, and she wanted me to bring him in so our doctor could look him over. Our appointment was at 9:45am, and after waiting for 35 minutes to be seen, (yuck!) it turns out that Whit has his first ever ear infection. It is in his left ear only, and he was also running a 101.2 degree fever. Poor baby!!! After the appointment was over, I went to fill his prescription, and now, he is sleeping peacefully. He has been in fairly good spirits through all of this, but I hate my baby to be in any sort of pain; it just breaks my heart! Please pray that the medicine works quickly and that his ear infection and his fever go away ASAP!!! As I write this, I fear I am about to fall asleep and hit my head on my keyboard because I am so exhausted. Whit almost always sleeps 12 hours at night, but last night and the night before, he woke up multiple times, and now we know why, of course. I think I might try to take a nap now while Whitster is snoozing, but being the insomniac that I sometimes am, we'll see if that happens.
