Followell Family of 3: First Sickness

Well we made it 7 months before Hunter got his first sickness. He had the beginnings of an ear infection. He woke up Sunday morning with gunky eyes. No fever, just gunky eyes. He ate fine, slept fine, played fine, not fussy. I had a sorority sister who has a little boy younger than Hunter who had the same symptoms. Took him to the doctor thinking it was pink eye. But it turned out to be an ear infection. I decided to do the same with Hunter. I have changed doctors with Hunter. I was going to my family doctor, but decided to start going to the pedatric doctor. So far we've only been once, but I loved it. As soon as I filled out my paper work, they called me back, and I was in the room about 10 minutes when the doctor came in. Looked in his ears and decided to start him on medicine. Hunter LOVES the medicine. I think because it smells like bananas. Maybe it tastes like bananas and Hunter loves bananas.

I took a sick day to take him to the doctor...pull in the driveway and my phone rings. It was the secretary at work. She was calling to tell me that the state was there to do their yearly inspection. I was ready to scream!!! Not my typical Valentines Day. A sick baby and the state coming.

But this picture makes it all better....
