Henry woke up one morning with a fever and he sounded like a barking seal. By the afternoon he was struggling to catch his breath and Marji called us really worried about him. Daddy rushed out of work to get him to the doctors. Luckily, his horrible cough was not croup, but he did have an ear infection. Antibiotics and a steroid were prescribed (this was Henry's first ear infection and the first time he had to take antibiotics). The Amoxicillin brought me back to my childhood days being sick: I loved that pink medicine. Henry spent four days home snuggling with either mommy or daddy (taking off of work). Literally all he did was lay on the couch and watch hours of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, read books or sleep. It was horrible seeing him not feel well and be in pain. I felt helpless and would've done anything to make him feel better. It took a good week for Henry to get back to his old self.
