Alex was cranky all day Sunday. He wanted to be held constantly and cried whenever we'd put him down. Around dinner time, we gave up and took him to the ER (the hospital where he was born!). After about six hours, an IV, and a chest X-ray, he was released with a diagnosis of conjunctivitis, upper respiratory tract infection, and bronchitis. He also had a tube of eye ointment (Bacitracin) and a prescription for some oral antibiotics.
We had him home and in bed by 2 AM. He slept soundly, waking around 8 AM. Michele canceled her trip (work) to San Diego, and we're now taking turns caring for him during the day. Follow-up appointment is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, where we hope to be told he's better and can return to his usual daycare routine. (I'm convinced he's bored at home -- how can either one of us possibly be as entertaining as watching two grown women chase seven other babies around?!)
