Jonathen Well Baby!

Jonathen had his one year appointment on March 28th.  He is getting so big.  He weighs 21 lbs 3 oz (25th percentile) and is 30.5 inches tall (75th percentile).  He is very tall and getting skinny.  He has been having a problem throwing up lately so I asked the doctor about it.  Dr. Graham listened to Jonathen's lungs and looked at his ears.  Turns out Jon has an ear infection.  Dr. Graham gave Jonathen a prescription for amoxicillin.  He has been taking that for over a week and he was still sounding terrible.  He actually started to sound worse than he had.  He was kind of wheezing and appeared to be struggling to breathe.  We went back to the doctor today.  Dr. Graham rechecked his ears and listened to his lungs again.  He said Jon's ears look exactly the same as they did before the amoxicillin.  He also said Jon has pneumonitis.  He prescribed a stronger antibiotic for Jonathen and I went and picked it up. Hopefully this one will help more than the the first.  Jonathen is not grumpy though.  It is hard to tell when Jon is sick because he is still a very happy baby.
