Poor Tucker-
Little Tucker is sick for the 1st time. He's been coughing and sneezing. Poor thing. Not been running a fever, so that's good news. Jamie and I are taking him to the Dr. this morning to make sure he's ok. More later....

Ok, back from the Dr. (finally). At 8 weeks old, Tucker weighs 13lbs. 5 oz. and is 25 inches long. He has a small ear infection, but no fluid built up (so that's good) and some sinus drainage. Dr. gave him an antibiotic and an antihistamine for a few days and he should be back to new. Tucker had his first x-rays today. We asked the Dr. about his webbed fingers and he sent us for an x-ray to check it out to make sure there are no bones affected. He said it wasn't something that needed fixing immediately, but would need to be corrected eventually, since he wouldn't grow out of it. He said we could think about a small surgery to fix it when we get the results back from the x-ray. Should be a day or so, until we get those back. Poor guy. We're thinking about training him to be an olympic swimmer, until then... (with the webbed toes on both feet and the webbed fingers, he'll be a heck of swimmer, eh?)
