Ear infection: day 864 (sure feels like it)

Not much improvement to report so far. He's more "off" today than he has been since this ear infection started; very tired and a little cranky. He moans a lot, which is heartbreaking. Cam is fairly warm to the touch, and since he did that last week when he first started the amoxicillin, we are hoping it means his body is again fighting the ear infection.

He hasn't vomited since yesterday afternoon, and we've been feeding him in 2oz doses about 2-3 hours apart - we're afraid to do more in case he vomits again and we're back to square 1. Since he's done ok eating the last 24 hours, we're going to try 3oz when he wakes up from his afternoon nap.

Fingers crossed the extra rest, plus TLC from mommy and daddy will help him get better. And the new medicines too - so much easier to give 1/4 tsp orally than 1-1/4 tsp!! Please send Cam some healing, healthy thoughts over the next couple of days - he needs all the help he can get to feel better :)
