Great News!!! New Pediatrician! No cold for Ethan!

Well, what we thought was a cold was not. We went to see another pediatrician fora second opinion since the meds were making Ethan sleepy. Dr. Shih was great, not to mention he spoke English which put alot of our worries at rest. We showed him the meds the previous pediatrician prescribed. After he checked Ethan's chest and back and mouth, he told us that as long as Ethan has a high level energy and nurses well, there is no need for medication. He said that he didn't even have a cold! The previous pediatrician we have been to twice. Dr. Chang just made me feel uncomfortable both times. He had a very aloof demeanor and made me feel as if he didn't understand me when I tried to explain Ethan's symptoms. We had thought Ethan might have had Thrush in his mouth which was just left over breastmilk and we ended up leaving thinking he had a serious cold and medication which he didn't need. Both A-ma and Gong Gong were so worried as were Adam and I. I'm so glad we got a second opinion from a doctor who made us feel reassured and has a great "bedside manner"? So now the meds have been dumped in the garbage and Ethan is back to his active self.

Thanks Dr. Shih!!!

Oh and even more good news! Since being banished from Ethan and I's room this past Monday (because of a nasty cold) - Adam hasn't had any migraine headaches for the whole week. Guess it's all the undisturbed sleep he has been getting. It will be interesting to see if the headaches come back when Grandma and Grandpa Zee come since he'll be moving back into our room with us. Another solution is to get Ethan into his cot after Grandma and Grandpa Zee's visit and then we will get a better nights rest (or so I hear from Krysta and Kelsey's experiences). So mommy is very happy for her baby boy and hubby! YAY!!!!!!!!!!
