So recently, even the sight of the camera sends Bub into a complete tantrum.Like laying on the ground, kicking and screaming. So fun. But it turned out, that it had good reason, poor kid has pneumonia. He had been coughing and feeling sick for about a week, and then he started getting fevers. After 3 days of fevers and then a lot of mucus, I decided it was time to take the little man into the Doctor. After attempting to see our regular pediatrician and the toddler quick care (which apparently doesn't open until 5 pm), we stopped at a huge Doctor office / Emergency room near our house. Thankfully, Bub looked miserably sick and the receptionist was able to get him into see a Dr right away. Some poking and prodding and a chest x-ray later (which was a disaster, he was screaming, since the x-ray machine is practically a medieval torture device, and Pumpkin, because she had to stand behind a curtain and not next to me, heaven forbid), it was confirmed that he had pneumonia. He got 2 of the biggest shots I've ever seen (poor little buddy) and is on 2 different antibiotics. I am just so glad I took him in when I did, otherwise it would have only gotten worse and likely ended up with him in the hospital over Christmas. So grateful the medicine seems to be working and little buddy is back to his normal terrorizing self (though he's still not completely in love with the idea of pictures haha).
