houston, we have a problem!

oh nono?! nona?! ....this would be a great time to come offer some aid! your help is needed and i know how much you would love to cuddle with our sick little sam! so, if you would like, go ahead and pack your bags then head east!

yes, our poor baby is sick. he was fine and then last night our world turned upside down. he woke up screaming and this pattern was repeated throughout the night. it was very tiring for all involved, including sam. he couldn't sleep and we didn't know why. there are so many things we have yet to learn as new parents.

by the time our pedi's office opened this morning we (the parents) were in a frantic state. there is nothing worse than knowing that something is wrong but not knowing what or how to fix it. i called and booked the first available appointment of the day and matt took sam....i met them there. the verdict was soon returned and little man has an ear infection. they also did some tests and his white cell count came back at 19,000....it's supposed to be 10,000. now the pedi is wondering if he might have a bacterial infection which would make the ear a secondary problem. after a shot and finger prick we left and headed home with our groggy and feverish baby.

we have to return to see the pedi tomorrow morning so that sam can have his finger pricked...again. i'll update you on the white cell number when i know something. as of now, my poor husband is trying to rock our desperate child. he had been much better this afternoon but every parent knows that night is the worst time for any sickness.

so, nono, nona.....you are more than welcome to come love on sam in his time of need. i know that his dad and i would love the help! actually, we'll take help from anyone! stace, i think you're the closest. kim, erin, c??? anyone wanna hop a plane? shannon? come on girls...i'll bleach your teeth for free! jen? jenna? anyone? i'll let jamie and dawn slide...for now!
