Here we go again

Harrison has been very fussy lately when he eats. When he would eat solid food, he would open his mouth like he was hungry. But when he swallowed, he would make the most horrible face, groan and grunt. Then open his mouth for more like he was still hungry. At first, I thought he didn't like what we were feeding him. But the more he did it, the more I thought his throat hurt when he swallowed. I felt like I was getting a cold, so I thought he just had what I had. He didn't have a fever, and after the last time he had a cold and the nurse told me, "Gee, you sure have been here a lot lately", I have been hesitant to just run back to the doctor. But Jason took him to the walk-in clinic on Thursday morning, and Harrison has thrush (yeast in his mouth). That is what was making his throat hurt. Well, it also explains why I haven't been feeling well, because that means that I am getting sick too from breastfeeding. You may remember that we went through this back in October-December, so I was pretty upset when I found out. But I hope we have caught it early enough that I won't get too sick. I have been feeling pretty yucky the past few days with flu-like symptoms, which is a sign that I do have mastitis. The doctor called in a prescription for me, Harrison is on an antibiotic, and I am going to the doctor on Tuesday. So we are treating it pretty aggressively and I hope it won't turn into the 3 month ordeal that it was last time. Cross your fingers!
