The checkup...

Well.....
We had our "ear check-up" today....

The good news: The fever and tummy issues (and lack of appetite) aren't a great concern and it's probably not a virus or anything.

The bad news: It's probably all caused by the continuing raging infection in Megan's right ear. :^( so sad - it took everything I had in me to not cry. So we are starting our 2nd antibiotic. IF it doesn't clear up within the next 2 weeks... then we move on to an antibiotic shots. OUCH! And, if there is any signs of anything out of sorts we are headed to the ENT. So far Megan hasn't really been a candidate for tubes for a variety of reasons - even though she's had like 8 ear infections. BUT, if this infection doesn't clear up, we have to figure out why. I just hate that she's still hurting and want it to stop!!!!

Oh, little Muffin! We were praying for a 100% good report! We'll pray that this round of antibitotics clears up that nasty infection so you can feel better. You're such a trooper, but this is really hard on your Mommy and Daddy! We all want you to feel better soon. Thank you so much for the adorable Easter card and pictures! How did you know I liked bunnies? Give Mommy and Daddy big hugs from Uncle Tony and I! We love and miss you all!!!

Poor little Megan. Jeez, she just can't shake these ear infections, can she? I feel for you guys.

Poor little thing. Macie is still pulling on her ears, but I think it is just her teeth. I have actually heard from folk that the shots are great because they work FAST. It almost makes you want to say give it to me now.

sorry she is having such a hard time. jacob had to get those shots one time when he had a stomach virus on top of an ear infection. we had to go back a couple of days in a row to get them and he was not happy about it at all. but it cleared it up quickly, that's for sure.
