Okay, so, I posted in a reply to a post over at that other forum about how we have this battle every day getting him in an out of the seat. How he gets straight up---and I can't bend him. Anyway, this past week, it's gotten worse. Like he's just that much stronger (and how do babies and kids master their bodies like that? I mean, the whole...I'm going to go ramrod straight when I need to bend and I'm going to go wet noodle floppy when I need to walk thing...).
Like I said the past week has been worse. He's also been sick, I thought it was just a cold, runny nose, sneezing and cough. He DID have a fever like two nights ago. But it wasn't a high fever, and I didn't have to give him any meds for it.
Last night he refused to sleep, would not lay down after about midnight. Plus he was extra clingy baby yesterday (I was at work, my mother had him all day long. She told me he would not sleep, so he was extra cranky). Anyway, I took him to the peds this morning. He's not only got an ear infection (well, two.)...he's got pnemonia.
Freaking pnemonia. She's given me a script for amox, and I'm waiting for it to be filled -- but the part that is relavent to THIS forum...is do you think that those two things could have led to the way he was fighting the carseat this week? Bcause the doctor said that he might have been having chest pain and that's why he wasn't sleeping. (and of course, ear pain). SO I was wondering if that included the carseat. Though the carseat isn't horizontal like his bed, it's still less than vertical, kwim? It would help explain SOME of the extra fighting. The other would be explain by the whole "he's almost 2" thing.
Here is the thing, how the hell did I miss that he was THAT sick? Ugh.
Whats great fun is that I have to wrestle him into the carseat again in a few minutes. At least he's good at taking medicine, I've lucked out there.
(Sorry if this post makes little or no sense. Obviously if he didn't sleep neither did I)
