Hope the poor little guy's doing better.

It's pretty. It's Christmassy. I need a new look for my site, too. And I was a confirmed under-the-armpit thermometer reader until Henry got his first fever and I had to go with rectal. I agree with you. There's no way to get any type of temperature from a whiggly baby alone. First, I love the new look. It’s pretty. It’s Christmassy. I need a new look for my site, too.

That's my advice. Even squirming toddlers can't get away when you are holding them by the ear, and it is over in a click of a button. Magic. Ear thermometer baby. That’s my advice.

I could never get Michael to hold his arm still to do the arm, our ear thermometer was crap, and the rectal one just always works. I hope little Harry feels better soon. And it's eitheir get sick now, or get sick when he starts kindergarten. Sorry, but I always go rectal with the tempature.

It doesn't look very comfortable to me, all slumped over and shit, but it kept the Boychild upright enough that he could sleep. Oh I’m sorry. Sometimes letting them sleep in the car seat will help.

Our best trips to the pediatricians are the ones where we don't get to actually see the pediatrician. The nurse practitioner is my favorite. She actually listens when I speak, or worse, tell her that that perscription never works, and we will be back in 10 days, my baby will still be sick and I will be even more surly. The pediatrician looks at me as if I've sprouted a second head, the nurse practioner actually flips through the chart and says, oh I see, you're right. And writes the perscription that will make it all better. Oh, and we use the Equate brand (Wal-mart) berry flavor, orange box. Puppy doesn't balk at it.

Daniel had chronic allergies during his daycare days, to the point where they kept trying to diagnose him with Asthma. I had asthma problems when I was a child, so I did not believe the doctors. Three weeks after he left daycare, he was completely clear. When we had to put him back in daycare briefly, the symptoms came right back. We think he had an allergy to come really common industrial cleaning solution common in childcare places. Luckily, it didn't follow him to elementary school. Of course, the poor boy is allergic to the cold, and now lives on daily doses of Zyrtec. I remember those days.
