Am I paranoid or is it just TEETHING?

Well, I can tell you one thing......I AM PARANOID!

Brayden has been getting more and more fussy over the last week. On Friday, he had been so fussy the night before that I decided to take him to work with me to have somebody look at his ears. They were fine. He had been pulling at them the night before.....I just dont like it when he hurts....The fussy is not real bad hurt but it is a long hurt. He had a horrible day with Kyle on Saturday, fussed no stop all day and didnt sleep but a hour or so. He did, however, decide that he would eat all of his bottles by mouth. Kyle didnt have to use the G tube at all that day. Sunday morning when I went to work, Kyle called and said that he was fussy again.....so Kyle brought him in again.....again, NO ear infection. Everybody said maybe he is teething....I thought no way.....He is 5 months old but he really is only 3 months. Its not time for teeth yet! So, Sunday night, we tried oragel and by golly it WORKED! Amazing huh?

I feel like I am over paranoid but then again I dont feel that I can be paranoid enough... We have had so many complications that I am afraid we will end up with another one. I now know that when it comes to my son, sometimes my medical knowledge is NOT such a good thing....

Anyway, So Brayden had a great day Monday with Gran. She said he was a different baby than the week before. He started smilling again and laughed at me this morning. I almost cried when I heard that sweet laugh.

He is eating like a champ too! Saturday he ate 2 oz every 2 hr, Sunday it was 4oz ever 2 hour and yesterday he did about 3 every 2 hours. He is doing SO SO SO SO good! I just LOVE when he is eating and cooing at the same time.....I can tell he is enjoying it!

Lets just hope it lasts...........
