A Face Only a Mother Could Love!

Colin loves pasta with sauce! As you can see...Not much going on except another ear infection! I thought we had made it through the winter, but I was wrong. In early February, February 9 to be exact, we went for his well visit and the doctor found one in his right ear, not too bad though. I thought it was just teething that week prior, but I was wrong (the guilty feeling was only minor!)...So another round of antibiotics and I thought we were in the clear...then a week after finishing them, he still had cold symptoms. So last Sunday off the doctors we went. Diagnosis - no ear infection, just a cold. Yeah! Until this Friday when he developed a low grade fever and had this horrible cough. So back to the doctors we went - you guessed it, another ear infection in his right ear. Another round of antibiotics, but this time we went slightly higher in the dosage. We see the ear, nose and throat doctor in a few weeks and the hope is that we won't have to have tubes! He did so well for so long, 8 months without one...but 9 ear infections in 16 short months feels like a lot...so we'll see, I trust ENT so we'll see what he says. So with 2 copays and the antibiotics this ear infection cost $55 - thank god for health insurance, can't imagine what it would have been without!
