Max is sick for the first time

So Wednesday MiMi ( Tracy) comes up to visit and babysit Max. My mom and dad go with Todd and Jennie up to St. Louis to celebrate thier 10th wedding anniversary and MAry Frannie's 5th Birthday Party. So MiMi babysits Thursday and Friday. On Friday she has both Max and Bekah - that's a first. Max was a little fussy and not himself, so we first gave him Milacon incase it was gas....and than we felt he had a fever so MiMi gave him some Tylonol. Well Friday night he seemed to get a little worse - he kept me and mike up most of the night, we could tell he was not feeling well at all. We finally gave him some more tylonol and I nursed him to sleep around 1:30am and he fell asleep until morning. When we went to check on him in his crib he had a fever again.....to hurry the story up a bit when we took his fever on Saturday afternoon it was up to 102.4 so we took off his clothes, gave him a tepid bath, and turned the air colder in our house...than we noticed some white spots in his mouth - so Sunday we decide to take him to a clinic since he is still not feeling well. Turns out he had a double ear infection and Thursh....and 101.5 fever. So glad we took him to the doctor. He got 2 prescriptiosn he takes 4 times a day to help and we have given him Tylonol to keep down his fever. Grandma took care of him today here at the house and Max has shown a lot of improvement. He will be on the medicine for a while - about 10 days to 2 weeks....but we are so glad he is finally starting to feel better. We missed our little happy Max!
