Ears

At Maddie's well check with her doctor, we discovered that she was sporting her first infection in her left ear. No problem ~ just take these antibiotics for the next ten days and we'll recheck her in three weeks. That was two weeks ago. Last night she felt warm (even though she had nothing but diapers and a t-shirt on) and was acting strange; this morning, same story, so I asked her pediatrician if we can come in to check her ear.

...So it seems that the first round of meds didn't do a thing (besides upset her little tummy, anyway). Now her left ear is officially badly infected & may rupture and her right ear is starting to look infected, as well. We left the office with prescriptions for stronger antibiotics and analgesic drops, plus a big Elmo sticker for only having a mini-tantrum when her ears were prodded.

Please pray that the new antibiotics work, that she gets over the pain quickly, and that she won't get diarrhea or yeast problems from the medicine.
