1st ear infection

So Max woke up night before last crying inconsolably and we were a bit baffled at what was bothering. We knew that he had 1 other tooth starting to come in (tooth #4, right next to his top fang) and he didn't have a fever, so we gave him some tylenol & tried to distract him while that kicked in. He was super tired, so after it kicked in he was ready to go to bed again. Yesterday morning, Wei Yan took him to the pediatrician (morning walk-ins at our ped's office rock) to check on his cough which is pretty bad right now. They said is cough is fine even though it sounds worse than anything to date, but that he has an ear infection. So we've been keeping some tylenol in him when we can and started the antibiotics. He hasn't woken up crying again, but I can't see a huge improvement just yet. So we'll keep up with it for the next 10 days and see how he does.

That's pretty impressive if he's only now getting his first year infection at age one. I hope he's feeling better. He's too adorable. We all enjoyed the party.
