Worst Mom award goes to......


That would be me! So in my previous post I said Jackson was sick, but seemed better just defiant. He has been feeling yucky on and off since last Friday (when he spiked the high fever). I thought, “oh it is viral it will go away”. There were times he would be fine and then just melt down falling to the floor. I chalked it up as he is now a two year old. I kept saying I want my sweet angel back. I literally have been walking on egg shells around a two year old not knowing when and if he will fall apart. This is so not Jackson. He may have one quick melt down every other day at most (not every hour). He started coughing a couple days ago and then he started saying his ear hurt (still nothing consistent). I went out last night for pedi’s with the girls and he would not eat (big sign Jackson is not well), but still thought nothing since I was gone and he was with Greg. He coughed all night long and today you could just see the baby did not feel good. We went to our pediatrician and low and behold he has an ear infection and nasty sinus infection. Praise God I pulled my head out of my (you know what) before we left town for the week end. He gave us some ear drops and oral antibiotics so I hope this knocks it out quick. His ear tube is not draining which is not a good sign. We have to see the ENT next week. It may just be blocked by some thick wax and the fluid can not get through. Please, lets all pray that is what it is!! I can not even imagine having to do another set of tubes already or the cost that comes with it! So anyway I have been dragging around to church, The YMCA, play dates, the pool, a poor little sick baby!

We've ALL had experiences like that... you're not the worst mom ever! Hope you have a great time this weekend and Jackson recovers quickly. :)
