Asleep at last

Both boys have been sick with runny noses and coughing the last few weeks, but Benji has been worse. After discovering spots all over his body on Monday, we took Benji to see Dr. Neel. While the spots issue was deemed minor, the doctor found infection in Benji’s right ear and prescribed the same antibiotic that Davey took for his ear infection last month. Unfortunately, we know one side effect of this medication is extreme diaper rash, which we are treating with cream. With all of his sinus drainage, Benji has also had problems sleeping. One solution is for our sick boy to sleep with his head elevated. Daddy Dave is happy to spend a few nights sleeping in the chair with his snuggle buddy in his lap if it helps his baby sleep.
