Quinton Update

We took Quinton to the doctor yesterday because he was showing all the classic symptoms of an ear infection!! He hadn't been eating real well since Saturday afternoon and was going back and forth between sleeping a lot and not sleeping at all. To top it all off, he would let out these blood-curdling screams that seemed to go on forever. On the plus side--no ear infection!!!! On the downside, the doctor said it looks like his teeth are moving around under his gums!! She said they don't seem to be ready to push through yet, they are just moving enough to cause him periodic bouts of pain. I feel so bad for him because there isn't a whole lot I can do to make it better. I gave him Tylenol, a cold washcloth to chew on and we put his teething rings in the fridge to get them cold so he can chew on them as well. Other than that, we just have to wait it out. He is so pitiful when he doesn't feel good (typical male reaction I guess). His sad little face breaks my heart though. We'll keep everyone posted on how this goes. If he is in this much pain now and reacting like this, I hate to see how he reacts when the teeth actually start pushing through!!
