Long time, no blogging. We've been busy taking care of a sick little boy. Last week Eli woke up with a fever and Kevin and I stayed home with him Thursday and Friday. The doctor thought he might have croup or some other viral thing. Motrin and steam showers seemed to help for a day or so, but his fever came back and stayed for a few more days. A second trip to the doctor confirmed a double ear infection and possibly pneumonia, and they prescribed amoxicillin.
Luckily my parents were able to come down and watch him this week. Eli was pretty much back to normal on Wednesday, but they stayed until Thursday pm just to make sure. Eli got a bonus Mim and Pop day on Thursday.
He went back to the sitter's today and is back to normal aside from a cough. What a rough first sickness- for Eli and his parents! Thank you Mim and Pop for helping us out this week. You were lifesavers! (Meals were great, too!)
Side Note: Eli started doing some new things while Mim and Pop were visiting. After months of practicing "So Big", Eli finally does it. And he does it without you putting your hands up first to demonstrate. For months, I did "So Big" and he just looked at me like I was crazy. He's also signing more without being prompted... like when he wants to be thrown up in the air again or wants more cheerios.
