Amoxycillin Angel



I am absolutely convinced that there is an amoxycillin angel out there.

Since Liam was three months old he was sleeping through the night. Keep in mind, sleeping through the night to me means 8pm to 5am. Then about two weeks ago he suddenly stopped. He would wake up at least once a night and usually stay up for several hours. Sometimes when he woke up he was crying and fussy for hours and sometimes it was that he was just awake and wouldn't fall back asleep, no matter what I tried.

One day he woke up really congested. I assumed it was because his humidifier in his room needed a new filter (so it was not on for a few nights). We have had that thing on continuously since birth. We bought the new filter and that didn't make any difference on his congestion. Then he developed a eczema rash. So this is when I decided to take him to the Doctor.

Behold- my poor son had a ear infection, a cold and moderate eczema. Because of the congestion and cold he got the ear infection. He did NOT show any signs of an ear infection, so I wasn't expecting it at all. He was prescribed amoxycillin. Since he began his medication he has been sleeping through the night again! Praise the Lord!!!!!!! However, he is still extremely congested. Poor baby.

So I now know that there is an amoxycillin angel out there helping my baby sleep through the night now!
