(This is G on his 1st birthday)
Over the weekend, G started showing signs off getting another cold. He had just finished up antibiotics last Friday from the last time he was sick. Sunday is when I started noticing that he was coming down with something new. He's got the cough, runny nose, and then had started poking at his ears. I decided that since we would be going out of town early next week for Thanksgiving, that we needed to get this taken care of soon. We went to the doctor today and he has an infection still in his left ear and one starting in his right. We will start another antibiotic today and hope that this one will do the trick. The doctor did say that we would keep a close eye on this and not let it get like last winter. Last winter we were basically there every month. I think if G has one or two more ear infections, they will probably send us back to the ENT Dr. for tubes.
I thought the timing of this was very ironic. Next week is G's 2nd birthday. Last year on his first birthday, every picture we have of him from his party, he has his fingers in his ears. We didn't know he had an ear infection at the time. Now at least I know his ear infection symptoms to a T!
