Mommy took me to the Doctor today since my cold is getting worse and because I’ve developed a cough. The Doctor looked into my ear and said my cold has progressed into an ear infection. I’m grumpy because my ear hurts and my nose is either running constantly, or it’s stopped up making it hard to breathe. Now I have to take antibiotics for the next ten days plus a decongestant to help clear up my stuffy nose. I’m determined this cold isn’t going to slow me down. The worst part is Mommy chasing after my nose to wipe it. I don’t like my nose wiped…and don’t even get me started on that bulb sucker thing. Somebody must have a twisted sense of humor to make a turkey baster part of the take home baby care kit!!! I keep turning my head but Mommy is persistent and I just can’t turn my head that far around! Don’t tell my Mommy, but I do feel better after the snot is gone, even if it’s only for a little while. I must admit, I like Daddy’s method better, he just lets me wipe my nose on his shirt.
