Just wanted to update on Jayden for a while:
Well he went to the doctor last friday ... found out he had a double ear infection ... they put him on augmentin for 10 days. It has officially been 7 days today ... and it still seems like he isn't getting any better. He still has a cough and a runny nose. So I called yesterday and Wednensday to schedule him an appointment ... Wednesday ... I was on hold for 30 mins, yes I said I waited 30 mins to talk to someone ... after the 30 mins I just hung up, and I told myself I would call back ... I forgot because I had some other stuff to do. Well yesterday when I called the lady answer took my info. and said can you give me one second, so I say sure ... she puts me on hold for 20 mins. I hang up and call back ... someone answers and puts me on hold for another 10 mins. So I just give up I was so aggravated. So hopefully today I can call up there and get an appt. for him for tomorrow or monday. So I can figure out what I can do to make him feel better. He has been so clingy to me since he has been sick, I am suprised he is even letting me sit here and type this. So like I said I was going to update you on the little man! He weighs 20lbs 8oz ... he's lost some weight from all the crawling he has been doing. They didn't tell me how tall he was .. plus I forgot to ask ... my bad. He has been trying to walk ... the other day before I left to go to school I had turned around to wash some dishes and when I turned back around he was standing all by himself ... he didn't even realize it ... then when he did he totally freaked out and sat down really fast. It was so funny and I was so proud of him. I have been trying to catch him doing it again, but no luck yet. I know it won't be long though. I can't believe he will be ONE in 42 days I think it is. I can't believe it.
Well I am going to go I have some laundry to do ... and I have to feed him ... so good by I am sure I will be writting some more soon.

Hm. I'm concerned about the ear infections. I had them when I was a baby too, they ended up putting in tubes. BUt I'm more concerned about the augmentin antibiotic. I'm sure you know that the more often he is put on it, the less likely it is to work since he can develop immunity. Secondly, antibiotics are HORRIBLE for developing teeth. Sounds to me that you need a new pediatrician- seems to me like s/he is more interested in packing his pockets with patients instead of caring about the ones s/he has. You're getting into the medical care field now, do a little research and get a second opinion. Just my two cents, but I promise it come with all the love in the world for you and that baby!:-)
Time to switch dr's. dont put him tp bed with any liquids
You have advice from two great people who know baby stuff. All I know is that snot is gross.
I'm sorry your having to sit and wait on the phone but you'll get in to see the DR. soon. I agree with Nicole about the antibiotics and the teeth development...just be careful and make sure you are comfortable with what the DR says. Make sure you feel that the DR is concerned with Jayden's health and not just getting you out of the room.
Take care, talk to you soon.
