The twins have both been suffering with teething, or so we thought. Aiden's tooth came out Tuesday and Alex's 2nd tooth started to cut through today. They have been pretty good with teething -- lots of drooling, but just a little fussiness at times. Aiden's gums have been so swollen that at times we could not even feel his tooth, even after it cut through.
We did have to bring Aiden in to the doctor Friday. The boys (all 3) were suffering from a bacterial eye infection a few weeks ago, a form of pink eye. They were all doing much better, but Aiden started again, but worse. He also had a little rash around his eyes and the skin around his eyes were red and irritated. When we went in, we also discovered an ear infection. Alex was checked and then we had 2. We had pressumed the low grade fever and fussiness was teething, but I guess it could have been the ears. So now, they are on antibiotics for the ears. This will also hep Aiden's eyes and he has an ointment to put around and in his eyes. We go back Wednesday for their 9 month appointment.
We are lucky that both are very happy and not fussing much with the infections. They seem to be the picture of health in most ways.
