Poor sick baby...

Our little Jaxson just hasn't quite been himself for a little while now. He has had a stuffy nose and been on the grouchy side. His sleeping and eating habits have changed too. I kept thinking he was having a growth spurt and maybe it is, but this weekend it got worse.

He has been so cuddly lately. When you finally get him to calm down he will just lay on you and stare. Here he is cuddling with his Daddy before bed one night.


He's also learning that he likes to chew during this phase...the binky just won't cut it when it comes to that so here is his new favorite chew toy...

His little stuffed piglet...it's about the only thing that he can get into his mouth by himself.

Saturday morning, Jaxson felt warm to me. He was running a fever of about 101. When I got him up from his nap around 10:30 or so, his fever had spiked to 103. I gave him some tylenol, gave him a bath and took his temperature every 15 mintues or so. By 12:30, it had only come down to about 102. I even had my mom come by with her thermometer to make sure mine was right. We took Jaxson to the emergency room.
They tested him for strep throat and RSV, both he was negative for, thank goodness. The ER doctor was concerned that his temperature had gone up right before he dismissed us, but wasn't sure he knew what was wrong. Jaxson's fever finally broke around 8 pm that night and has been at 100 or below ever since. His nose is still really runny and it makes him cough, but Mommy is much more relieved!! Here are some pics of Jax's first ER visit.
