this is getting *really* old

My poor little guy is sick again and it's made for several rotten nights due to sleep apnea (he wakes constantly, snorts, and gasps during sleep). The doctor thought it could either be an allergy or a sinus infection. He's been on a nasal spray for the last few days and began having problems with stomach pain and vomiting last night (I believe a side effect of the medication, this happened last month with amoxicillin). Ugh.

He finally fell asleep at 1:00 am. A fitful, snorty kind of sleep.

The plan was to try the nasal spray for a few days before moving on to an antibiotic (amoxicillin, of course - the doctor said it would be much more effective in relieving a sinus infection). This means another night of pure joy.

NOT.

Looks like the boy will be missing school again and I'll be making another call to the doctor.
