MORE ear infections. not kidding.

Seriously - my poor little dude has ANOTHER double ear infection.  This is #4.  Since he started daycare. 

They're started to throw out the "T" word - tubes.  We were in the Dr's office 3 times this week...the oral antibiotic he was on last week wasn't doing the trick - and it was the strongest they could give him orally (Suprex).  So, this week...he was introduced to Rocephin.  Ewwww.  No fun kids.  I have had Rocephin shots as an adult, and I can handle shots pretty well...but that one is a booger.  Poor kiddo - he had one on Monday and another one on Wednesday because they still weren't clear.  And by not clear, I mean "vanilla pudding" not clear.  Yeah, Dr. Jay's words - I swear. 

So....we were there this morning again for a recheck and there was still fluid - but not infected fluid.  So he escaped the Rocephin shot...but we were warned that the next ear infection most likely warrants a visit to the ENT.

Bluh.  STAY AWAY EAR INFECTIONS!!!
