First trip to the ER:
A few nights ago, Henkka had a a hard time sleeping. He slept ok until we were ready to go to bed at 10:30pm, and he does that often -- wakes up right as we are ready to hit the sack. First I wanted to ignore him, but he was doing his whining noises and those mean that he is not going to fall back asleep unless we go comfort him a little. Scott took the first turn and gave him some painkillers, thinking he was teething.I took the second shift an hour or two later, when he started whining again. This time he would not go back to sleep, but started having episodes of screaming like he was really hurting. None of our usual comforting tricks worked, so after an hour and a half of constant screaming we took him to the ER at 2:30am. We guessed he had an ear infection and right we were. They put some numbing drops in his ear, gave us some antibiotics and we all got to go back to bed at 4am.
Luckily he slept until 9:30am and after some breakfast made his Buzz Lightyear impression again, which usually means he is up for some fun.
