The Biggest Scare!

Last Sunday night was our biggest scare! Griffin was sleeping in his crib and around midnight we heard him cough but it wasn't his normal cough. Immediately JohnVan jumped up ran to his crib pulled him out turned him upside down and patted his back. The Poor guy was strangling on his Flem caught in his throat. We were both so scared he started to breath really heavy and I sat and held him close rocking him. I had him upright with his head laying next to mine cheek to cheek. I leaned him forward to look to see if he had drifted off to sleep and to my surprise his eyes were wide open filled with fear. He was afraid to cough again afraid he would stop breathing and get strangled again.

We didn't know what to do and we needed someone else's opinion. So we called my dear in-laws to come. As soon as they got there Griffin had gotten a lot better but we still were very scared. Our little one had never been sick! Pops came in and took charge he took Griffin into the bath room closed the door and ran a hot shower. It worked Griffin's cough wasn't near as cakily (If that is even a word) Thank God for family. I will say that again THANK GOD FOR FAMILY!
Needless to say he drifted off to sleep and slept soundly through the night. His parents on the other hand didn't sleep a wink!

As the week went on his cough just got worse and I noticed him pulling on his left ear. So Thursday morning his Doctor worked him in and we found out that he has and ear infection from so much drainage witch we are still clueless as to wear that even came from.

So little guy is on his first Antibiotic this is his fourth day and I really don't see too much of a difference. Is this normal?

I have to brag about the little guy even through all of this he never really cries and he just plays patty cake and smiles! He is so amazing! And by the way he still has no teeth! Can you believe it? Well, they say it's a good thing the longer they wait to come in the stronger they are! Hooray for that! I hope it is true!
