Jaxson in the NICU

Update- Dr. Appt

Jaxson continues to battle whatever yucky cold he came down with last week. In fact, it was getting worse and he had more of a fever the last couple of days so I took him back to the doctor this morning. The doctor discovered he has a secondary sinus infection but his ears and lungs are clear. Poor baby. He just can't breathe when he nurses, so he either struggles to eat or just won't (even with saline nasal drops). I hope the antibiotics we got will kick in soon... especially since we leave for Illinois on Thursday! Other than the clogged sinuses, Jaxson is in good spirits and was Mr. flirty-pants with me earlier today! Thank you for the prayers...

Poor guy....I hope he starts feeling better. He is such a trooper!

After Jaymin's round of antibotics I wasn't convenced he was better because he kept playing with one of his ears. So while on vacation I took him into the walk-in clinic and sure enough he still has fluid on that ear so we are another round of 10-day stronger antibotics. It's no fun watching our little ones suffer.

We'll be praying for him and that he starts feeling better and especially before your vacation.
