Kale's first sickness :(

Ryan and I have decided that we absolutely hate taking Kale to the dr. because it seems like everytime we do he gets a stuffy nose afterwards. Well this time it was bad. He went for his two month shots and a couple days later came down with a ridiculously stuffed up nose. He kept Ryan and I up the entire night because he couldn't sleep because he couldn't breathe out of his nose that great. I didn't mind him keeping me up, I just felt so bad for him because I was doing everything I could to make him feel better. We turned on the cool mist humidifier and I was suctioning out his nose, we were using saline drops. I was doing everything I could. I just had to wait until the morning to call the Dr. Well he woke up at like 10 that morning, he slept in late from not getting much sleep the night before. I immediately called Dr. Griners office and had to wait on the phone for 20 minutes. I finally hung up and then tried to call back and the line was busy. I got pretty frusturated because I mean how busy can you be? And the recorder says we are expierencing a high number of calls, I was like geeze how many people call a doctors office that early in the morning. Well I finally just decided to leave a message and wait for them to call me back. They called me back around 45 minutes after I left my message and I explained to them Kale's symptoms. They called me back and told me that Dr. Griner wanted to see him so we went in. Kale hasn't seen Dr. Griner since his two week check up. That Dr. must be one busy man because we have seen his PA's more than we have seen him. That is one thing that Ryan doesn't like about his office. Is the fact that we never see the Dr. we always see his assistants. Back to the subject though, they worked me in and I didn't have to wait that long before Kale was seen. Dr. Griner said everything looked good but that Kale was really congested and that he didn't like that so he put him on a antibotic and a cold medicine. He told me if he wasn't better in a couple days to call back up there. Well he hasn't gotten any better. So I called this morning and told the nurse and she called back and said that Dr. Griners PA John wanted to know if I was using the saline drops and the humidifier. I wanted to be like yes lady I am doing anything and everything I can to get my son better. SO after I told her yes, she said that he would like to see Kale. I went in immdiately because they go to lunch from 11:30-1:30 and I wanted to go ahead and get it taken care of and figure out what is wrong with my little boy. This PA was amazing I really loved him. He talked to me for like 30 minutes afterwards because he just retired from the military himself. Anyways, he showed me how to suction Kale's nose, which I know how to do and did tell me to leave the saline drops in for five minutes before I suction but he said other than that he looked and sounded great and that they don't like to give babies his age too much medicine so he wasn't going to prescribe him something else. I just really hope that Kale gets better. It sucks being a mother and seeing your child feeling so crummy and your doing everything you can do and they just feel misreable. I hate seeing Kale sick. It seriously is the worst feeling in the world. Last night he slept horribly again and so Ryan and I got zero sleep. Ryan stayed up with him until four a.m. and then I was up with him the rest I ended up just having to hold him in my arms and let him sleep.
We will see how tonight goes. I hope he gets to feeling better really soon!!!
