Well, our first night of baby boot camp, Thursday March 31st, went ok. I think the longest crying spell was 30 minutes during Jim's first half of the night shift. I was pretty encouraged Friday morning. When Will got up, he seemed tired and cranky and wasn't too interested in eating. I thought this was because of being up and fussing more during the night. Took him to child care and thought he felt a little hot, but I figured I had overdressed him, snow suit what not for the drive in. Got to work at 9:30 a.m. and by 9:35 Will's teacher called and said he had a temp of 101.5. So back to childcare to get him, got a Dr. appointment for that afternoon, gave him some Tylenol and rocked him and cuddled him till his appointment (he took some bottle during that time). At the Dr. office, Dr. said he had a temp of 101.3. Didn't think it was due to the new antibiotic for his continued ear infection (yes, it is still infected so another 10 days of antibiotic). Dr. thought it was probably a virus thing, in addition to the other stuff going on.
So now we are doing the Advil, Tylenol switch off every 3 hours, but he did much better yesterday. His fever had broken after sleeping in until 9 a.m. (he was up off and on most of the night Friday/Saturday a.m.) but came back around 5 p.m. Back to the 3 hour routine but he had a better night last night/this a.m.
Poor kid must be so confused--we start out Thur. night with trying to train him to self soothe more and go to sleep without the bottle/being rocked to sleep--so he had to wail his head off from time to time--to Friday morning where we were soothing and cuddling as much as possible while he felt so cruddy. I just hope his wee immune system is getting stronger after going through all of this stuff. Poor little guy.
