Merry Christmas

Not only did Hunter celebrate his first Christmas this year, he also survived his first cold. Last week, we made two trips to the pediatrician. On Monday, we were told he just had a cold and to give him saline drops and elevate him at night. By late Wednesday afternoon, he developed this horrible barking cough, so we scheduled another doctor appointment for him the next morning. Hunter had developed a mild case of croup, the beginning of an ear infection, and goopy eyes. The doctor gave us drops for his eyes, an oral steroid for the cough, and Amoxicillin for the ear infection. As soon as we began administering his medication, we immediately noticed a change. Hunter is still congested, and has a little cough, but he is pretty much back to his normal self. This week, Hunter has really taken a liking to standing and squealing. He has been very fun to watch and play with this week.
