If you remember in my earlier posts, Ally's sleeping was going very well in January and February not so much. Well, that is when she was diagnosed with an ear infection and 2 weeks later ear infection (still) along with Strep. It has only been 2 weeks since Ally has been off her antibiotics. However, recently JC and I still felt that something just wasn't right. She was not sleeping well, occasionally pulling at her ear, a slight (very slight) decrease in eating. But all in all, she was our happy Allyson. I checked for fever, none, but did feel that she felt hotter than normal. We decided that we should take a trip to the pediatricians office (even though she had no "real" symptoms) because this weekend we are flying to Texas. (I sure didn't want to deal with a sick baby on vacation and perhaps infect her cousins with whatever she did or didn't have.) We just needed to be sure and thank goodness we decided to take her to the peds office!
The ears have still not healed. Double ear infections. We are on another round of antibiotics. This time, she is not as easy to administer the medicine to. What I find even worse, is the affects of the antibiotic, yuk! If the ears still do not heal, we will try one more antibiotic before we discuss "the tubes". Let's hope this works and lots of Tylenol and ibuprofen before the plane ride!

ReplyDeleteTubes were the best thing we did for Alex!!! He had a constant ear infection from Nov-Mar of last year!! We've been battling one lately, but tubes were well worth it. The procedure only takes about 20 minutes. She'll only be out of your sight for 40 minutes or so. It stinks, but do it!!! Good Luck@
