Double Ear Infection

Poor Preston! As soon as he was completely over the stomach bug he got an ear infection in both ears! His nose has been runny since last weekend but I just figured it was because of teething. Yesterday morning, he woke up with blood all over his ear. It really freaked me out but after I cleaned it with a wipe I could tell it was just from him scratching his ear and it wasn't coming from inside. I decided to just watch him yesterday but as the day went on he started pulling and tugging on his cheek and he had a rough time going to sleep. He isn't fussy nor running a fever. He is playing just like he always does. I took him in this morning and sure enough both ears are infected.

Carter was so cute. I had told him we were going to go to the grocery store but on our way I found out that the doctor could see us immediately so I told Carter we were just going to see the doctor and not go to the store yet. He was okay with it until five minutes later. He then said, "Mommy, why don't we just go to Kroger and then go home and I will get my doctor kit out. I will be Dr. Carter and I will look at Preston." I had to tell him that he was a great doctor but we better see Dr. Morchower first and then after lunch and nap he could be Dr. Carter and look at Preston. Carter loves to go to the doctor when it isn't him that is seeing the doctor. He still benefits and gets a sucker and the nurses flirt with him.

So, we got a prescription of Augmentin and he will recheck his ears when we go for Preston's ONE YEAR check up on August 4th. Can't believe he is turning ONE next week!!!!
