Aha! He had a double ear infection!!! Not that I'm happy about it, but just...you know...I wasn't crazy. Anyway, this is how things unfolded:
He took a three hour nap but woke up once in a while whimpering and trying to get comfortable. By the third hour I decided that a temp check was in order, so I waited for the next wake-up and got out the thermometer. He'd hit 102.2 and had turned into a little glassy-eyed dishrag. I conferred with T.G. and we called the doctor. They had me come right in with him and within minutes we had a diagnosis and a prescription for antibiotics. T.G. watched Little Guy while I zipped over to the CVS and got infant fever reducer and antibiotic pink syrup. When I got home Little Guy was flopped against T.G., eating Indian food and acting like a wet noodle. Typical Little Guy, he won't even let an ear infection come between him and a plate of palak paneer. I gave him the medicine and, after a little yogurt, he was tucked into bed. He's sleeping now and I'm watching him on the monitor. Poor little buddy. I hate when he's sick. The antibiotic they gave me is a pretty powerful one, so I'm hoping he will be feeling better by morning. Neurotic Mommy over and out.
