Ears

One of Thomas' tubes is coming out early - the ENT said about 6 months too early. But, what are you going to do? Wait and see. If he gets 2 ear infections then we will need to have it put back in. Because the tube is closed he has to take antibiotics instead of the drops. YUCK.

He's had a cold for several weeks now - coming and going. But, we got a clear ear check last week at the ENT.

Yesterday his eyes were red. This morning they weren't better. So, off to the pediatrician. Yep - bacterial pinkeye from the cold and.....wait for it.......an ear infection in the ear where the tube is coming out. So, 10 days of antibiotics. The medicine is a little like bubble gum flavored chalk. Thomas had to be physically held down to get the first dose in him tonight. Chocolate ice cream helped convince him the second dose might be easier to take :)

I really wanted fall and winter to get here, but now I'm not so sure!

Awww, i'm so sorry he (and you all) have to go through all that! Give him a big hug from Aunt Carol & Uncle Al, please!

Yes, and a couple from us! So sorry that he is having to go through all that stuff again - especially since you all thought that it was over.
