...for ear infections! Ivy woke up at 3am this morning complaining of ear pain, so she jumped in bed with us and kicked and tossed and turned until about 4:30am. After I realized that she finally fell asleep again I rolled over and thought to myself, this is great, I might actually get another couple hours of sleep! Then what to my wondering ears should I hear, but Ada crying at 5am!
Well, I headed off to work (in a hurry :)) and Eric stayed home with the girls and took them to the doctor. It was ironic because they were supposed to have their 3 week recheck on their ears Thursday. So while I made their appointment this morning, I went ahead and canceled Thursday's appointment. The doc said that both of Ivy's ears were very infected and bulging, and he wouldn't be surprised if they burst. Ada's right ear is also very infected. Sounds like the amoxicillin from last time didn't take care of it so he prescribed Augmentin. Hopefully that will do the trick. It seems like my kids always get ear infections around the holidays...but actually they get them plenty of times in between, so there's really no coincidence. {capdropper off}
