A Sick Baby Boy

Monday evening, about 7:00, Brady started fussing really bad. He wouldn't eat his cereal or his bottle, bath time didn't even calm him down. So about 10 pm we called the doctor. She said to give him some Tylenol to help relax him, so we did. He was not running a fever at that time, he was just extremely fussy. He would lay on my chest and try to sleep but would cry out every five minutes. He finally relaxed a little and dozed off about midnight. Then at 1:30 he was crying again. This time he had a fever (100.5), so we called the doctor again. I know we were probably over reacting, but we knew something was wrong. Plus, being a first time parent, we really didn't know what to do. Anyway, we gave him some more Tylenol, and we were at the doctor's office when they opened. He did not have an ear infection, but we found out today that he has a urinary track infection. He will start antibiotics today and will take them for 10 days. He is doing much better today. When he was in his swing this morning, he was smiling at me when I was talking to him. Thank goodness, Whit is doing fine. The past few days have been stressful but things are much better!! It's very hard having a sick baby boy!
