Well, just when I thought Miss T was on the mend and things were looking up – not so much.  Epic FAIL.  The daycare called me at 9:15 this morning, saying she had puked everywhere and was exceedingly fussy (which I actually already knew).

Since she has been on antibiotics since Monday for her double ear infections, I figured we should go back to the doctor and have her ears checked out again.  Sure enough, the antibiotics have not worked AT ALL.  The pediatrician was impressed by how red and angrily infected her eardrums still looked.

So, his suggestion was a 3-day regimen of antibiotic injections.  They gave the first one this afternoon, of course, then we’ll go back tomorrow and Sunday for the other two.  Hopefully this will be worth the tears, because the nurse giving the shot warned me that this drug “burns like fire” on the way in.  And Miss T’s reaction certainly seemed to confirm that scenario, poor kid.

I asked the doctor about the possibility of ear tubes, since AE had to have them put in twice I figure we’ll end up there eventually.  He pretty much said that if these shots don’t clear up the infections OR she is back again within about a month, she’ll have a one-way ticket to the local ENT.  Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

Ugh.  There is no good way to wrap up this post.  I’m trying to ignore the prospect of yet ANOTHER weekend spent trapped at home with a sick, miserably cranky baby.
