Patrick's caught his first little bug.
Ginger made him a Doctor's appointment after he throw up on her early this morning, then at the Doc's office while we were checking in, Patrick got Dad. The Doctor looked him over as best as she could with all of his wiggling, giggling, and talking. He wasn't making it easy for her. Everything looked good, his usual wet diapers means he's hydrated, so they stuck his little thumb to get some blood to do a cell count.
He grunted and fussed through the pricking and the blood drawing, but never screamed. And, after everything was done and he was being held by Mommy he was just fine. His white blood cell count is just over where the Doc likes to see it so he gets a little dose of medicine morning and night for the next ten days.
We did find out that Patrick is now over 13 pounds, I guess we'll learn all the other stats next week when we take him in for his well baby check up.
Aww, poor little dude. It is always stressful when the little ones don't feel good and are helpless to tell you were it hurts. Hope he is good as new soon.
