Ear Infection

Seth woke up crying early Sunday morning (as in, right after midnight). He said his ear was really hurting. This is usually what happens with the guys' ear infections...intense pressure for about 8 hours or so and then the dam breaks and the yuck drains out through the tube. It looks horrible, but they actually feel much better when it happens. I had to give him a dose of Tylenol and some Benedryl to sleep. Like clockwork, he woke up crying 4 hours later...and I gave him another dose of Tylenol. Even though he was half-asleep, he was worried that he wouldn't get to see the movie on Sunday afternoon, poor baby! I told him he would most likely be able to go.

Sure enough, by morning he was better and his ear was draining. We started his antibiotic ear drops and everything will be fine.
