i took him back to the pediatrician today.
we saw the same nurse practitioner as before + she said he looks and sounds MUCH better than the last time she saw him. she said its just a waiting game with these coughs.
but no fever + everything else looked good, so theres that.
1:09 pm
MLFAN17
sounds hopeful?:)
1:09 pm
EvaNadine
hes cutting teeth on top of everything, so she said its fine for us to use some motrin or tylenol at night to help him take the edge off if he is super-fussy.

that's from a search on google for the definition
5:12 pm

Um, look at the point value of the words. I am in total agreement with you that stand offish means what you said. Stand offset, does not and that is what I said.
