Health Update

Jack has been super fussy the past 3 days or so, we took him to Urgent Care on Sunday because he literally cried for about 3 hours straight! Nothing worked and Chris and I were both just at a loss. Well he checked out fine there - no ear infections, no strep throat, no fever (although he had a fever that morning, but I had given him Tylenol so it had gone down I guess by the time we got to Urgent Care). So we went home told we had nothing more then a "fussy baby". Grr...

So Monday he was a little better at daycare from what Tonya told me and last night he seemed to be in a fairly good mood too - although extremely gassy! Ugh...

I took him to see his pediatrician today though because he has continued to cough up/spit up clear mucus. She said he seems to have some head congestion that is draining, thus causing the coughing, spiting up of mucus, and the general fussiness. She rechecked his ears because he has been going at his left one for about a week now, but said he doesn't have an ear infection - YET. She said depending on how he does getting rid of this virus it still could develop into an ear infection. GREAT! So I have to watch him temperature over the next few days.

On a high note - Jack now weighs 12 pounds 2 ounces and is 22.5 inches long! He is getting so big! He did great at the doctor until she tried to stick that microscope in his ears - that ticked him off!
