Did you know that a child can have severe double ear infections, with no symptoms other than random puking?  I did not know this, yet it appears to be the case.  I kid you not, no more than 10 minutes after I hit “publish” on that last post, Miss T’s daycare called to say that she had puked yet again.  No warning, no fussiness, just BLEAH, everywhere.  So I picked her up, and decided to take her to the doctor for the sole purpose of finding out there was nothing wrong.  I wanted him to tell me that she was fine, so that I could take her back to daycare before the end of the 24-hour mandatory waiting period.  Then lo and behold, he looks in her ears.  Mmmm hmm, mmm hmm, he says, nodding as he takes a look.  Yep, that’s pretty bad in both ears.  And in one fell swoop I felt like the Worst Mom Ever.  Sorry, kiddo, you should be fussier next time. That would be a clue for your dumb old mom.
