Feeling better?.....Maybe

Joel did a little better last night. Rob got him up around midnight to change him and give him a little Pedialyte to see if we could ward off the middle-of-the-night scene from the night before. He changed him and we suctioned his nose (he's NOT a fan!) and used saline to clear his nose. He cried for a while and wasn't too interested in the bottle. Rob was up with him for a while and finally laid him down about 1:30. Joel cried for a while but eventually fell asleep. He didn't make any noise again until about 7:30 this morning. Mommy and Daddy needed that! He got his first dose of the new medicine last night, but the doctor said that would take a couple of days to kick in. Maybe not! He was in a pretty good mood this morning and his nose did not seem to be running quite so much. He was awake for about two hours and ate well, but he was clearly sleepy and was rubbing his eyes a lot. I put him to bed and he fell asleep almost immediately. Yesterday the doctor told me to keep his room around 65-68 degrees. Yikes! That seemed too cold to me. His room is fairly cool, but I don't know that it is that cool. Anyway, he seems to be feeling better and will hopefully keep improving every day. More later...
