Dreaded Ear Infections

Thursday night Owen slept horrible. He screamed when I put him down, so we slept in the chair most of the night. I noticed that he was pulling on his left ear a lot too, so Scott and I decided we would take him to the dr. I stayed home with Owen for part of the morning. Then when Scott got home, I went into work. We couldn't get Owen in to see Dr. Westland until 4:15 that afternoon. I met them at the appointment. The dr. asked Owen what ear she should look in first. Owen pointed to his right ear. She looked at it and said, "Yep, it's a bad one." Then she looked at the left ear and said he had a matching set. Bummer. Double ear infection. Last night around 7:00 you could tell that his ears were really starting to bother him. That first dose hadn't kicked in yet, so we gave him some tylenol to help with the pain. He at least slept in his crib until 3 this morning. Then Owen and I ended up on the couch for the rest of the night. So hopefully we'll be on the road to recovery today!
