And I wouldn't have known either, except that Edward, Colin and I have had a few verrry long nights over the past few days. Colin is extremely congested, and we've been giving him saline drops/spray and trying to aspirate his nose a couple of times a night. He wakes up crying because he can't breathe properly, and the cycle continues. So yesterday, I took him to the doctor because his constant waking just didn't seem right, even for someone with allergies (it is our longstanding belief that this is an underlying issue with Colin). It turns out he has a double ear infection and a sinus infection. And the large patch of eczema behind his left knee, that only seems to weep, scab over and weep again, is also infected. Sigh. And all this with no fever and a great appetite. It really only was our exhausting night routine and the very loud snufflings - which we can hear a room away over two fans and a humidifier - that tipped us off. Poor Mister C!
He's now on antibiotics for the next 10 days, and we're hopeful that this may also address some of his congestion, too.
PS: Yes, those are Colin's 4 pearly whites: Chomper, Bitey, Fang I and Fang II. I've been somewhat remiss in posting about the babies' latest developments and achievements, so more on that soon!
