These Sweet Feet...
...are attached to an adorable little boy who just so happened to be sitting on an exam table at the doctor's office yesterday waiting patiently for his examination despite feeling really crummy.And the news we received was not the typical "just wait it out" answer that we usually get. The sleepless nights complete with screaming, the tummy aches, runny nose and nasty cough - it all finally culminated into Dr. Julia's diagnosis: "Oooooooh. Poor little guy. Those are two very unhappy ears."
Yes. A double ear infection.
We made it two-and-a-half years with no ear issues, so I am just trying to be grateful for that. In the meantime, he is taking an antibiotic and lots of ibuprofen for the pain. And my ingenious and thoughtful husband elevated Jack's mattress to help relieve the pressure that builds at night to help him sleep better. My poor baby. Sweet little Jack. Tomorrow should be a better day.
I hope that everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving. Or, as the little patient would say, "Gobble, Gobble, Gobble!".

Oh, honey; I'm so sorry. We know from experience how awful it can be. The good news is that the antibiotics usually work really quickly to help them feel better. Here's a tip I learned: you can alternate ibuprofin and tylenol every 4 hours instead of waiting 6-8 with just the ibu. Good luck! Let me know how the bed elevation works. We haven't tried that yet.
I hope he feels better soon...no fun those ear aches:(
