Ear Infection :(

by Steph at 10:49PM

Well, poor little Everett has an ear infection…AGAIN!  I suspected that he might over the weekend when he was not sleeping very well.  My suspicions were confirmed when he woke up every hour on Monday night and then took a 30 minute nap (not normal for him at all) on Tuesday.  The pediatrician got us in Tuesday afternoon and low and behold I was correct. 

She said the tubes are still in, but the left ear (the infected ear) is not draining properly.  It is “clogged” with the actual drainage.  He’s on a round of 10 day antibiotics and we are using his antibiotic ear drops that Dr. McDonald gave him to hopefully clear out the clog.  We will go back on Monday for a check and a wellness visit, so we are hoping for good results with this method of treatment.  In the meantime, he’s back on the Motrin/Tylenol pain control regiment!
