I think Aidan is past the worst of it... hope so. We took him to the DR or ER everyday last week. He had 2 injections and 3 IVs. He not only had a bacterial eye infection, ear infection, and sinus infection, but Peri orbital Cellulitis, which is a skin infection that can effect eye sight and do brain damage. So I wasn't messing around with it. The doctors treated me like I was overreacting, but I don't regret being aggressive with it. He couldn't keep the oral antibiotic down, so he ended up dehydrated and needed the IVs anyway, so I don't think they were being reasonable with their "he's not that bad" comments. :) Anyway, it's not gone, but he seems to be doing much better and doesn't have that look of death about him, so I'm much calmer.
When I was waiting to deliver Clayton, the nurse helping me gave me a sweet blanket and 2 outfits for him to wear that she'd made herself. She mentioned that it was hard to find fleece prints that were appropriate and not "too cheery" for the blankets. I found some shooting star fleece and purchased it to donate. She met me at the hospital while Aidan was getting an IV, on her day off, to accept it. I hope other moms are comforted like I was.
