Sick baby

It has been one looooong week. Aiden wasn't acting like himself last Monday and Tuesday, then woke up around midnight Tuesday night absolutely on fire. His fever ranged from 101 to almost 103. The poor kid was so miserable. That lasted for a couple of days, and we decided to take him to the doctor when his chest started to sound rattley. The doctor agreed that his chest sounded bad, and thought he might have pneumonia! She ordered a chest xray!! (Gasp!) I was so nervous because he has never had anything like that done!! We went into the radiology room and saw this crazy looking contraption. They had him sit on what looked like a bicycle seat in a hole in a table, with his legs dangling through. I had to hold his arms up over his head as they strapped this hard, plastic tube around him. I thought he was going to freak! I would have! His arms and body were totally confined in this tube, and all he could move was his fingers. He got really quiet, and I thought something was wrong! The technician swiveled the table so that he was facing me, and he was smiling behind his pacifier!! Then he waved by wiggling his fingers because that was all he could move! We were just hysterical. He is the goofiest kid, and some things just tickle his fancy. Anyway, turns out that he has finally gotten his first ear infection. The xray looked fine, and now we are just waiting for the antibiotics to work so we can all get back to sleeping at night.
