Little Sickie

Dylan had four really rough nights in a row last week. We couldn't figure out why he was sleeping so poorly and getting so fussy at night when he seemed fine during the day. Then on Wednesday afternoon, his daycare teacher called to say that he greenish yellow junk flowing out of his eyes. I got him to the doctor the next morning and learned that not only were both eyes infected but he also had a double ear infection. The doctor said that every time he laid down at night, the pressure on his ears would be intensified and would result in a lot of pain, which explained why he wasn't sleeping. So now he's on oral antibiotics and antibiotic eye drops. His eyes cleared up right away and he's had 3 much better nights in a row now so the medicine must be working. I kept him home on Thursday and Friday. He slept almost all day on Thursday but on Friday he was wild and full of energy. I ended up taking 1/2 the day off (instead of working from home) and we went out and met Tom for lunch and then did a bit of shopping. He had a good time.
