So the Howards had their first (of probably several to come over our lifetime) trip to the emergency room last night. Geoff and I don't consider ourselves to be panicky parents, but after Liam's fever only crept higher yesterday to 103.1 after 2 doses of ibuprofen, to the hospital we went. Liam was diagnosed with a pretty rough ear infection and was prescribed amoxicillin for 10 days. After awaking every 2 hours last night, more doses of Tylenol alternating with Motrin, and 2 rounds of his antibiotic, he seems to be feeling much better this morning. As for his exhausted parents, that's another story. Poor Geoff had to work today, but I am gratefully at home taking care of my little man. At the hospital, we found out Liam weighs almost 20 pounds now, and he made lots of friends with the lady nurses who took care of him! And who could blame them--look at that precious thing in his tiny hospital gown!

Poor sick baby
