Both girls seemed to move from puking to ear infections. Adeline's ear was infected when I took her to duPont for a hydration check last week. It didn't seem bulging but definitely infected. We started her on drops of Ciprodex but it didn't seem to stop the explosion of gross goopy stuff. It was obvious she was in pain. She seems to be better now.
When I picked Lila up from school yesterday her teachers said she was very clingy and cried during gym. I knew something was wrong because I can safely bet on Lila loving gym time. Once I got her out to the car she started crying, tugging on her ear and pushing it into her car seat. What was concerning was that she didn't stop crying for an entire hour. I had to get Savannah from school and pick Lila up some meds from CVS before getting her home. She cried and cried and then resorted to hitting her ear. I asked her if she had an owie and she pointed right to her ear and cried harder. In that moment, I was glad that I wasn't a typical parent who would have to take their child to their Ped for antibiotics. Our pulmonologist always supplies us with refills and they are to use at our discretion. By the time I got home, the Tylenol I had given Lila in the car kicked in and she passed out in my arms. It must be a pretty fierce ear infection because she woke up after being down for two hours last night crying out, "Mommy, owie." Most likely she will be going under with Adeline in March for new tubes.
