We were up for 4 solid hours with little girl last night. She would just tug on her ear and whimper and cry. Her fever never got too high, just mild with a lot of pain.
Why is it that some kids can have an ear infection and it never seems to bother them - while others can inflict horrible consequences on their entire family over an ear infection?
I would not make light of the intense amount of pain she was in - but my goodness - no one was allowed to rest while her ear hurt. Even her big brother came out around 4:30am to see what all the hubbub was about.
Chris took her in to Shamrock Clinic while I was at work today. Poor thing! He sat up there with A. for at least 3 hours before he saw a Dr.
And, mystery of all mysteries, I wasn't there to hear what the Dr. said, so I cannot be entirely certain of the diagnosis. Chris said he couldn't remember what exactly the Dr. said, but that after he looked in her ear, he prescribed antibiotics. So I'm guessin.... ear infection!
Anyway, tonight must be a better night. I can't imagine it being any worse!
I don't think it matters how much you love your kid, after 4 hours of wailing, (as sorry as I felt for her) I didn't think I could listen to it anymore. Thank the good Lord for Benadryl!
And uninterrupted rest.
My fingers are crossed.

I couldn't help but smile when you said that Chris couldn't remember what the dr. said. Men! It wouldn't surprise me a bit if my Chris would have done the same thing. Hope A. gets better soon.
Bless her heart...and yours too!
Hope you all get some rest tonight!
Thinking about you.....
I hate that. Poor baby girl. I just said a prayer for her and your family.
He got the antibiotics, and everything is getting better, right? You don't need all the details as long as it is getting fixed.
