Poor little Emerson is just finishing a second bout of pneumonia and ear infections in 2 months. The first time I was really scared; I'd go check his breathing in the middle of the night to make sure he was okay. The first time the antibiotics did a number on his system, giving him diarrhea for 3 and a half weeks afterwards (at the time we had to fly on a plane, though it ended up being ok); at times it was every hour. He also got a secondary infection from the first round of antibiotics that wasn't cleared up all the way when he had to go on antibiotics again! Poor little guy. He is normally such a happy baby so it is sad to see him feeling so bad. The second time around I was sick, too, so we were quite the sight.
"...Christopher Robin and I walked along, under branches lit up by the moon...Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore as our days disappeared all too soon... So, help me if you can I've got to get back to the house at Pooh Corner by one. You'd be surprised there's so much to be done; count all the bees in the hive,chase all the clouds from the sky..." --from Return to Pooh Corner by Kenny Loggins
