update

lol tease! this is not an actual update, just a post saying, yes I know I need to update this. Been real busy lately with summer school (over now), camping, working fulltime at Target and meeting a new "friend". Will update when I can.

ear infection

so Michael was saying his ear hurt on Wednesday and Thursday of last week. We had already planned to go to Silverwood on Wednesday so we continued and went. I had some OTC ear drops at home and thought I would just give him those and hoed it helped, if not we would head to the dr soon. Silverwood went fine but when we got home to do drops it hurt SO MUCH MORE after I put the drops in. Before it was just a bit and then he screamed, whined, cried and was in pain after the drops went in, I felt so bad, I was sure they wouldn't hurt (I even told him so, so sad). He laid with me, finally settled down and went to sleep. This happened again on Thursday, he said it didn't hurt that bad at all, but to be safe I added the drops again at night, then again A total break down, in so much pain. I felt bad, but I thought I had to get it feeling better. Well Friday he didn't say anything about it, said it was fine, etc. But I was still worried and I thought I should take him in before the weekend in case it got worse, we wouldn't have to go to urgent care, etc. I called and amazingly his primary dr had an opening. We went in Friday at 2:30. Yes indeed, sure enough he has a middle infection in his left ear. But knowing my son, no that can't be it. HE also ended up with a "perforation" (hole) there too. Sigh who knows how that happened. But we now have an appointment with the ENT on the 13th to see what to do about that. The dr said some heal on their own, some don't. For his e/i he has to take an oral medicine 2X a day for 10 days and drops 2X a day for 5.


If people asked if Michael was generally a healthy child, off the top of my head and first response would e yes. He rarely gets a cold, flue, sickness etc. But as for all the odd things, he gets them all. He has had hypospadias, laryngomalacia, he was tongue tied, had rotovirus, has had tubes, adenoids removed and now a hole in his ear. POOR GUY!!!
