Double Ear Infection

Corey came into my room screaming at about 3:00 this morning, holding his ear. After a little medicine and water, he determined that "it's too cramped in here," and went back to his own bed and slept the rest of the night. He woke up this morning cranky and demanded to be cuddled. After a stretch on Papa's lap, he climbed onto his Dad and started nodding off with him. Soon both were rudely awakened by a rather large amount of vomit, courtesy of Corey. Impressive considering he's been refusing food for over a day. Once the commotion died down, Corey asked if he could go take a nap in his room. Time to call the doctor, Corey is requesting a nap.

It appears he has a double ear infection, but after a little Motrin and a dose of Amoxicillin, he's already back to his old self. Perfect timing because in a little bit we'll be heading out with the cousins for a little bumper-car driving, laser tag and whatever else they have the energy for.

Sorry to hear Corey is sick. That is no fun for anyone! Hope he feels better soon!

Mateo has been sick since Sunday afternoon. I knew that something was wrong when we went to the pool and he only wanted to swim for 10 minutes! He did vomit yesterday morning, luckily Jonathan was holding him when this happened! I thought he might have another ear infection, but the doctor said no. He had a bad night again last night, but seems to be a little bit better today. Although he is still not eating like he should. He wants vanilla wafers!

Maybe Mateo has morning sickness?
