Poor Lu

My poor Luke has caught this yucky cold that we have all been fighting since Thanksgiving weekend.  We knew he would eventually get it and it's just so sad to watch and listen to him.  He's done great compared to Tyke (no croup) but today he was just plain miserable.  Today was day six of his illness and he woke up around 5 a.m. crying and never stopped.  I finally layed him down for a nap around 9 a.m. and he cried himself to sleep.  I called and got him an appointment with Dr. Peterson at 11:30 a.m. thinking that maybe our poor little guy had an ear infection or something causing all of the discomfort.  Everything checked out great.  His ears are fine though his left ear isn't at 100% (it wasn't at 100% the last time I took him in thinking he had an ear infection...I may bring this up with Dr. Fullmer when we got for well checks in January, unless we end up in the office sooner).  Dr. Peterson told me poor Luke just has a really bad sore throat AND FOUR molars coming in!  He said we should expect him to be pretty miserable for a few weeks and to just keep doing what we're doing and give him Motrin on a regular basis.  He said the cold symptoms should hopefully be gone by next Wednesday.  My poor Bubba-Lu!
