we (mama) took a forced break from the blog to nurse the family and prepare for tomas' 1 year celebration week.
papa first got sick with an upper respiratory and single ear infection. a few days later tomas had lots of congestion so we phoned the pediatrician to ask what decongestants he could take and they said since it was making it difficult for him to sleep and eat we should take him in the next day...(photo was taken after scheduling the appointment)
poor little tomas also had the upper respiratory infection but both ears were also severely infected and he never really complained. he did not have a fever yet (even surprised the doctor), which is why we hadn't taken him in (we didn't want to be 'those' first time parents). this was him when we got home from the exam and after he took his first dose of medications-and this is a kid who can't sit still for more than 10 seconds unless he's feeding or asleep in his crib-he was really sick. we almost made it a whole year without him getting sick at all.
he became quite the cuddle bunny for the next couple of days. we ended up with three medications for 10 days. one was once a day, one was three times a day, and one was four times a day-like mama carmen would, mama vron made sure tomas got each and every prescribed does on time. tomas is actually super at taking his vitamins and such but grew tired of all the medicines after a while.
then mama developed a sinus infection from all the mess going around. so we had all the carpet, rugs and ducts cleaned to get all the yuck outta the house. happy to report we are all healthy again!
