My poor little guy...

Declan's pedi checked him out yesterday. The doc could see some sort of major blockage in the right side of Declan's sinuses. The doc sent us for xrays immediately which also showed some kind of blockage. (go figure!) Poor little Declan - getting his wee head zapped already. He had to wear a little lead cape on which the techs had drawn a Superman logo.
Anyway, the doc was unable to tell what on earth this blockage is and is sending the xrays to a specialist to check out. We have to go back in two weeks. In the meantime, I'm to spray cortisone in Declan's nose once a day and he is going on amoxil. The doc is hoping that the blockage is "just an infection", hence the antibiotic treatment. If it isn't an infection, the little guy will probably have to have surgery to remove the blockage or otherwise open up his sinuses.

Declan handled it all rather well. He weighed in at 17 lbs, 7 oz..
