We took little bear to the doctors yesterday. The doctor kindly let me know that little bear was close to being hospitalised on Monday due to the extreme temperature he had. Although he was wandering around to the baffled disbelief of the doctor.
The doctor was happy that we stopped the penicillin (after little bear was so copiously sick) but prescribed new eye drops. Little bear did not want drops. It took both of us to hold him down, plus bribery with sweets to get the first lot in.
Then it got towards his bedtime. Dear heart mentioned the drops. "Eye much better." Little bear said persuasively, "drops empty - daddy make bottles, LB go upstairs'. He was absolutely adamant - drops were not needed!
When he woke in the night, after kicking off his blankets, the first thing he said to me as I tucked him back in was 'much better now'. In other words - no need for drops.
Little bear was once so good at taking his baby ibuprofen. I suspect those days are now over.
The dr was concerned that little bear's eyes were sticky, but he had just been woken to go to the drs, and his eyes had been fine the days before and are fine now. I may take my courage in both hands and ignore the drs instructions, though I will keep a close watch on his eyes and at the first hint of stickiness the drops will be back.
Little bear is much better. This morning it was tiring as he wanted/didn't want cereal, wanted/didn't want juice, wanted/didn't want milkshake - NOW! However he is on the mend and I am hopeful of him getting a much needed nap this afternoon.
