Baby Aaron is sick. Not like anything I've seen in him before or anything I've ever seen with Z. He's been listless for the last couple days (I would describe it as lethargic but the pediatrician promptly corrected me upon seeing Aaron since there are other implications for a "lethargic" baby). He's not nursing, sleeps all the time, and is a droopy guy... the sparkle is gone.
I'm worried sick over this. I went to the pediatrician yesterday and called again today. The pediatrician didn't see anything on physical exam and isn't concerned but I'm a complete mess. I keep going over in my head, on the computer, with Steven, with friends about what could possibly be wrong with my little guy - am I missing something? did you ever see this? what could it be? how long will it last? what if I'm missing something very serious? It's as if his lightbulb is dimmed and I'm sooooo saddened because I don't know what is wrong or what it'll take to bring him back to me - maybe he will nurse, maybe he will take a bottle of expressed milk, maybe he will take formula, maybe he will eat cereal? Will he eat anything?
So I wait. I wait for him to wake up, for him to eat, for the sparkle to reappear. And in all this waiting I'm brittle.
