I caved and it was a good thing.....

I decided to take Parker to the doctor last Saturday because the runny nose came back and he started pulling on his ears. Yes EARS plural not one but both. I just knew he had an ear infection and we all know that won't go away without an antibiotic. Michael and I took him to the pediatrician and she only told me what I already knew he had a double ear infection and one ear she said was really bad. She put him on amoxicillian for 10 days. So 8 days later going on little to no sleep and Parker still pulling on his ears I decided to take him back to the pediatrician. Sure enough he still has a double ear infection so now we are on a stronger antibiotic and she gave us numbing ear drops to help him possibly sleep better at night. So last night with the new antibiotic, numbing drops, and Tylenol in his system we thought for sure he would sleep but NO! The antibiotic is really upsetting his stomach, he has extremely bad gas and is not really interested in nursing. Basically we are in for some sleepless nights until he is finished with his medication. Poor baby, I can't wait until this is all over!! The one great thing about going to the pediatrician is we love seeing how much he has grown. He now weighs 19.5 lbs and is in the 95th percentile for his weight and height. Nice, healthy big boy=)
