Dr. G is very conservative and I appreciate that. Basically, he wants to wait and see if Nathan gets sick like this in the summer time when there are fewer colds going around. He put him on an allergy medication to see if that will help as well, since we haven't tried them before. Thirdly, if Nathan gets a another green-snotty nose (the doctor's exact words), I am to ignore it for 2 weeks unless he is on his death-bed. Sometimes we just jump to antibiotics and don't give the body time to heal itself. I can appreciate that, too. I'm glad he's conservative and really wants what is best for Nathan in the long run. No quick fixes.
So anyway, we're finishing up his last round of antibiotics and doing the Allegra thing. We're all healthy at the moment and doing fine. Hope you are too! :)

So glad to hear things went well! It sounds as if you found a gem of a doctor, too!
Glad he's doing well right now! My 2-yr old has gotten every bug that comes around since he was 11 months, so I know how stressful the constant dr trips and meds can be. But it's good to give his body a break from the antibiotics if he's doing ok. Sounds like a good dr!
