First time being sick...

Poor Alex has an ear infection. I hate that he feels so bad. We had him to the doctor a few weeks ago with a suspected infection but it was just fluid in the ears, nothing more. But this week started with clear drainage from his nose and then he didn't like being laid down to sleep and would only sleep upright on me or in a swing. Then yesterday morning the gunk from his nose turned dark yellow and light green. So we were off to the doctor's office a few hours later and now Alex is on antibiotics. I hate that he's on them so young when Brandon was 18 months before he had an ear infection. But with an older brother to spread the germs it was inevitable that Alex got sick for the first time at a younger age. Boo. Here's hoping he feels better soon... and will start sleeping longer than a couple hours at a time at night.
