For the last month I've had a sick baby. He had a cold and was getting worse so I took him into the dr. Sure enough he had a double ear infection. We got him started on the antibiotics and slowly things are getting better. But man.... it's hard to have a two month old who is sick. He cried all day long!! (and all night long) I had more than one moment of frustration. But we made it through.
And irony of ironies.... Now I'm sick. I've been pretty sure I've had strep throat for almost a week now but I just haven't made it into the dr's office. Then last night I started having trouble breathing and got this searing pain in my ear. I hadn't felt anything like that in my ears before. I waited for a few hours but realized I wasn't going to sleep like this between my throat and my ears. So into the er we went. I'm pretty sure most of my crying was over my embarrassment at having to go to the er for an ear ache and throat pain.
Sure enough, I have an ear infection and what looks like strep throat.
Thus my feeling badly for being an impatient mom... If that's what my poor kiddo felt in his ears then it's no wonder he screamed for hours. I have to say it hurt pretty badly. Good thing he's so cute!
He loves reading stories
Stretching out!
