More Antibiotics
Frank had a bad ear infection and a sinus infection that was creating a ton of snot, making him have that gurgly cough. No "asthma" discussion per Cory, who went to the doctor's appointment because I was at work.
We started him on Carnation Good Start with Active Cultures yesterday and he got an antibiotic, and something gave him the messy "trots" as Julie would say. So. Gross. Back to Alimentum. We are almost done with formula, and I am curious what he will move on to. I don't know how available soy and rice milk are in Greece. When I was a kid and I'd go visit there, I always drank chocolate goat's milk. Superyuck. But they're very much more international now, so who knows what we'll find for these two. Frank is still nursing, and I don't think I can really wean him until after we're settled in Greece. Right? Because now with the antibiotics and the constant battle with thrush, I'm totally open to it. Not to mention that he's still waking up every 2-3 hours and I'M LOSING MY MIND FROM IT. I can't really let him cry it out, either, because when I've tried he can go a good 45 minutes before I give up plus he's got this Reactive Airways thing where it sounds like he can't breathe when he really gets on a good crying jag.
His one year appointment is in about a month, and I'll talk to her about it then.
He is such a sweet boy, and so very attached to me. I would be worried about him not walking (mimi was running around at this point) and not talking much, but we clearly don't put the effort into it that we did with Mimi, which is good and bad. I was always trying to grow Mimi up faster - on to the next thing - and we just enjoy Frank for who he is.
On a positive note, I do believe it has been at least 2.5 months - a record for us - since someone in this house was on antibiotics. Things are definitely looking up!
