The Ears Again

He managed a little smile when he was laying on my lap after we got home.
He passed out very quickly after i put him bed. You can tell he does not feel well and his ear is pretty red.

Skyler also passed out quickly as he had a short nap since we had to go to the doctors.


Well after being woke up at 12:30 am with Kaden crying about his ear hurting i gave him Motrin and Ear drops and he went back to sleep. He was up before me this morning and although he said it was still hurting he was acting like his normal self. So i gave him some Motrin and he went to school. I was going to pick him up early anyways as Tuesday is Therapy with Mrs.Wendy. Well about 12:30pm the school nurse called and said he was in complaining about his ear and it did indeed look infected. So could i come and get him now. Well we had to cancel Therapy but still had to go to Children's Mercy as we were able to get him an appt with the doctor. It was confirmed he had a bulging left ear infection and one was starting in the right ear. They did not want to put him through the 2 shots for 3 days again so we are trying the omnicef again at a higher strength and twice a day. The doc who saw him said he needs tubes. So hopefully when we see ENT on the 21st this will be scheduled to be done soon. They are afraid all these Ear Infections are going to cause him to have some hearing loss. Hopefully that will not be the case. He was also prescribed eye drops from what she is thinking is eye allergies as his eyes keep swelling up. He was feeling so bad that while at the doctors i was carrying him while he layed on my shoulder and pushing the stroller with my free hand. Hopefully his meds will start working and he will be feeling better in the morning as he has missed too much school due to Ear Infections.
