An apple a day doesn't keep the Dr. away!

Poor little Anderson has yet another ear infection. I took him to the Dr. on the 24th and they gave him a script for the antibiotic they consider their "big gun". We did the typical 10 day treatment, but he was still running a fever so I took him back in Monday. His ears were still infected so they gave us yet another antibiotic. This drug is nasty. It is notorious for causing tummy troubles. About an hour after the first dose, he vomited all over me! That was great. That hasn't happened again, but he does have diarrhea (which means a nasty diaper rash too). On the 2nd visit to the pediatricians office, we saw the nurse practitioner. She told us that she really didn't feel that even this second round of antibiotics would get rid of the infection, but hopefully keep it controlled enough so his ear drum wouldn't burst. She feels that he will not get any relief without tubes. We have an appointment with an ENT specialist on the 13th. I guess we'll just have to wait to see what he says. Anderson is a trooper though. He has his moments, but even with yucky ears he is still a pleasant little guy!

Enjoying some November sunshine and 70 degree weather!
