Here is Jaxon and Daniel resting after medicine. Jaxon has been filling icky since Friday, so we took him to the doctor, whom I wasn't really pleased with, but we're continuing the medicine anyway. She said "he has a tickle in his nose." Okay.....now what.....
So this morning I just wasn't feeling like he was feeling any better, so I decided to take to the Emergent Care facility in Terre Haute. We waited 45 minutes (after filling out all the admin papers and everything) only to be told "we don't accept infants". I was very unhappy; the lady must have just assumed I carried a carseat around for fun! So, we landed in the Emergency Room. After a complete examination by a doctor (much more pleased), he has an upper respiratory infection. Luckily, it's only in his nose and mouth and hasn't developed in the lungs! So, we're taking tylenol and cy-mes for the stuffiness and sneezing. This picture is nap time after taking medicine.
Update after doctor's appointments. Jaxon now weighs 13 pounds 15.1 ounces and is 24 1/2 inches long! He is wearing
some 6 months outfits (the blue one is). He's getting to be a big boy fast! I have to take off work tomorrow to stay home w/ him and Daniel's taking Tuesday off. As long as he doesn't have a fever as late as Tuesday, he can return to daycare on Wednesday.

I'm so sorry he's sick- that's the hardest when you can't do anything for them! I'm glad you got to a good doctor though, it probably kept him from getting worse. We hope he feels better soon!
We love our pediatricians... it's Dr. Essig, Dr. Schneider, and Dr. Caswell, all three women, with Danville Pediatrics. Let me know if you want their phone number. I understand how frustrating it can be, we went through that with Cooper when he was in the hospital those first 8 days.
