Pure sadness

Trace has been battling an ear infection. What we all hope is only an ear infection. He's been feeling punky since Tuesday. We made a trip to the pediatrician's office on Wednesday and started taking an antibiotic Wednesday night for an infected right ear.

However, two days into the medicine and he's not showing any great improvement. Still has fever, is still terribly lethargic and has eaten less in the last three days than he normally consumes in one sitting. He hasn't taken a step in two days. Unless he's being held and cuddled, he's crying.

Poor little buckaroo. When I had to put him down to get Alysse out of her highchair and changed yesterday after lunch, he spent the entire time crying to be held. Have you ever seen a sadder face?

You're breaking my heart little guy. I hate that you've felt so bad, and there seems to be nothing I can do to make it any better. All mom wants is for you to get better.
