He's Back!

After 6 days of fevers on and off, crying or fussing most of the time, barely eating, and 5 nights of sleeping very little, Wiley is finally back to himself. After we discovered that he had an ear infection, we added a regimen of antibiotics and changed his cold medicine, and it made a world of difference! When we woke up yesterday morning, after nearly a full night of sleep, Mommy felt like a new person. Wiley must have as well. Our first clue was when he stood up in his crib and the first word out of his mouth was "Milk!" When we went to the kitchen to get him a drink, he started naming all the foods he could think of "Jell-o!" "Cereal!" "Apple!" He ate breakfast, then promptly decided he was done. He was immediately ready for a walk, donning shoes and hat overtop of his sleeper, and standing at the door, ready for someone to help him outside. However, we have also discovered that one of his new meds seems to wake him up rather than put him to sleep. The last couple of nights he's been so much happier at bedtime that he lays in his bed for an hour or more, talking, singing, laughing, and calling out for anyone willing to be an audience. It is nice to have our little boy back to himself, even if it means he doesn't fall asleep right away!
