Despite his cheery disposition, Griffin has had some tummy trouble this week. It started with a projectile vomit on Monday morning that I thought just happened as the result of a burp/timing issue.....he rarely ever spits up even a little. Monday night during his bedtime bottle he did it again so I was a little worried. Tuesday, Grandma Kathi said he soaked her but she thought it was because she was doing one of his favorite up-and-down moves too soon after a bottle. I also brought out the last of the freezer breastmilk for him to finish so I thought the change in his dirty diapers was because of that. By last night he had also covered his Grammy Marta, and not eaten much of his lunch or dinner.
........so today we got to see the doctor. Griffin should be over his first "mild stomach bug" by the end of this weekend and I'm looking forward to it. He also endured his 4th and 5th ear flushing (the worst experience of his life so far) thanks to his very hairy and small ear canals. The doctor is never able to see into his ears easily. After all of the commotion he determined Griffin has fluid on both of his ears but no ear infections. His left ear had fluid when we went for the 2 week checkup from the ear infection he had a month ago. Dr. Sponenberg told us today that if he still has fluid at his 9 month appointment we will need to consider getting tubes in his ears. I'm hoping things clear up by then but we will cross that bridge when we get there.
Good news is, we are vomit free today. So thankful we have such a happy little guy, puking or not!
