Allergies
Little man is so sick. I just have no clue what's wrong anymore. Something is happening beyond colds. He now has an ear infection and a sinus infection. HE just got over a sinus infection three weeks ago. He can hardly breathe, it's a struggle and sounds so wet, He refuses his bottle because he can't breathe through his nose so we have to spoon feed him 75% of his formula with some cereal mixed in for ease. He has diarrhea and on and off fevers. He's been on Antibiotics for four days and there is still no improvement... EAR DROPS DON'T WORK.
I'm trying really hard to only give him Motrin if he REALLY needs it because motrin can hurt the lining of your stomach if given to much. But it seems to be the only thing that takes the pain away. Yesterday he woke himself up from choking on his flemm and scared the shit out of himself and me. Then proceeded to grab his ears and scream in pain for about 20 minutes, that was a motrin moment!
I believe he has some sort of environmental allergies. Either pets or pollen. The doctors don't seem to want to test him. I've been telling them of my suspicions for months now and all I get is... "Usually babies don't get allergies until after their first year of life". The last time they took a medical suspition I brought up to them so casually we ended up in the hospital for three day. And that was an allergy also.
Damn it, I hate this feeling of knowing something and getting no where! He has allergies and it's causing the infections, it's as simple as that. Right?
I don't know, I'm really nervous right now. We have an appointment with an Ear nose and throat Doc on Wednesday (today - ignore date on this post) God I hope we get some answers. I'm sure Quinn does too.

mom thinks that it's some kind of crazy mold or something in the house or in the carpets that are left.
The house has been looked at twice for an appraisal. They even said we had a moisture barrier in our crawl space which is rare and really good.
