UPS & downs...

This week has definitely had it's ups & downs for my little Jaxson. Mommy instinct told me that he still had an ear infection, even though he's been on antibiotics for 10 days. Since he's allergic to pencillin, he has to take Ceftin when he needs antibiotics. Thanks to our insurance, that's on the 3rd tier; therefore making it $40 every time he needs it. So at Jaxson's last appointment I mentioned this to the doctor. He decided that we could try another antibiotic that would not be as strong but only $5 and just see how it worked. Well- it didn't. So, back on Ceftin.

But, before that -Jaxson had his first really bad boo-boo. Wednesday at 4:30 I got a phone call from daycare that just makes your stomach flip, "Mrs. Shaffer, Jaxson has gotten hurt at daycare. He has a gash above his eye." I hurry to go pick him up and it looked HORRIBLE! Somehow, the door or the gate or something cut his eyelid, right in the crease. I wasn't sure if he needed stitches so I made a few phone calls for advice and decided to wait it out. It did stop bleeding and it didn't seem to bother him because he played all night as usual. It still looks awful today and his eye lid is bruised. Well, after his doctor's appointment yesterday (ears again, runny nose still, gashed eye, 2nd flu shot...we make our doctor's trips well worth it!) I took him back to daycare. Mr. Jaxson thinks he's a big boy and can stand up alone and walk...well he's not as stable as he thinks. He head-butted the cabinet at daycare and now has a bruised knot on his forehead. People at Wal-Mart are going to think I abuse my child! Anytime Jaxson is sick or gets a boo-boo it's very stressful for us as parents because we want to protect him. I'm thankful that his accidents this week weren't serious!

Yesterday afternoon while playing in his floor, Jaxson took 2 steps towards me all by himself!! He's such a big boy for trying to walk at 10 months old! I plan to post his stats soon since he just had a birthday :)
