Ear Infection again!?!?!

So Tyler was on antibiotics (Augmentin) for 10 days and that cleared up his ear infections from the last post. For about 3 days. Sigh.

We went in for our 2-week check up on the ears last Wednesday. Dr. Gessner looked at both ears and said they were clear. HOORAY, right!?!?

Thursday night he was feeling warm so we took his temperature - fever. Other than that virus he had at the beginning of April the only reason he gets a fever is ear infection. We kept him home from daycare Friday and kept him on tylenol for the fever. We called the pediatrician Friday evening and she said it would be best to get him in to their office in the morning so we did. One ear was clear but his right ear was a mess. Now we're on another, stronger antibiotic (Omnicef) and hopefully that will do the trick. I really want one of those ear scopes myself so I can check him!!

The meds seem to have helped so I think we're on the mend. At least I hope so!

I am a Terrible Mom!

So yeah, teething? Could be, but the main reason he was so fussy was an ear infection in BOTH EARS!! :(

We went to his 15-month appt a week ago yesterday, and everything went great - except the ear infection thing. He had goop in his eyes too, so we asked the pediatrician about that. Turns out the ears + eye goop = one feisty infection that has to be treated by Augmentin. We just finished that and I think it did the trick. But now, I'm not so confident....good thing we have the follow-up appt next week!

I felt terrible about the ear thing. Glad he seems no worse for the wear!

In other news, daycare is going well. They have water days on Fridays and he *really* enjoys that. He's been eating well - generally not a huge fan of pasta but today he wanted some of my spaghetti and seemed to like it so maybe we're getting over that.

We also took him to a class at Gymboree Play & Music. Very similar to Little Gym, but he seemed to like it more - not sure if he was just in a better mood or what. They offer a 10-class deal and we're going to sign up for that this coming weekend. He seemed to enjoy crawling around and meeting the other kids. Fun fun!
