Ear Infection

So just when I said posts would be sporadic because of my lack of sleep, colic, etc., bam!! Another post.

Ashtyn got a little worse this morning and wouldn't stop her crying so Katie and her mom took her to the walk-in clinic. The Dr. there checked her out and said everything looked fine, but sent them to the Pediatrician at Medcenter to double check.

The Dr. there asked if they had checked her ears at the clinic and Katie said they had and they looked fine. Evidently a 'fine' ear looks similar to an ear with a serious ear infection. 2 antibiotic shots and some numbing drops later and little one was out like a light sleeping! Yay for sleep!!!

It was weird because she went from a little girl that enjoyed everything, including getting the baby booger picker in her nose to completely intolerant of everything overnight. Show of hands from any of you that had a baby that laughed while getting the baby booger picker stuck in their nose??

Thanks to everyone for the colic suggestions. I hope we don't need to use them in the future, but if we do, at least I'll know where to start.

Oh yeah, first funny story from Ashtyn. So we're in for her 2 week checkup on Tuesday and the Dr. is checking her out. She has Ashtyn on the table and she talking to us, but I know how the little spider monkey likes to move around, so I warned her that she might try to roll. Before the Dr. could say two more words, she'd flipped to her side and one more push had her on her back. I don't change her on anything but the floor for that very reason now.
