Ear infections, ear infections. . .

4/5/2011

Well, the baby has yet ANOTHER double ear infection, and she's probably had it for a little while.  She's been totally fine during the day - laughing, playing, happy as a clam.  But, she was waking up at night, but I just thought she was thirsty.  Sunday night she screamed as we put her down and had a terrible time sleeping so we called the doc Monday morning.  Sure enough her ears looked terrible again.  Ugh.  More antibiotics, and possible tubes in her future if she gets more. 

I really should have trusted my instict.  Last week when she started waking up again at night I thought to myself that maybe she was getting sick again.  But, then she would wake up and be so happy all day.  My gut instinct was that I should take her to the doctor, so I guess I need to trust my gut in the future.  I think every Mom can relate when I say you don't want to be that Mom who's taking her kid to the doctor every day when you don't really need to.  But, there really is nothing like a Mother's instinct!

I intend to do some reading on ear infections to see some possible alternative solutions, so we'll see what I can dig up.  I'm going to ask my chiropractor about it because sometimes certain adjustments can help chronic ear infections.  But, in the meantime, it's just plain hard to have a baby who's miserable in the middle of the night.  Thankfully the other two kids haven't struggled with ear infections.  I'll state the obvious when I say it's just  not fun at all.

So, this poor baby has had 3 double ear infections, congestion and breathing trouble that landed her in the ER, a febrile seizure, pink eye, some fevers here and there, and more congestion all since December.  No wonder I'm so tired!!

Reading your blog is like reading about my own life! Sasha has had the same story-- 4 ear infections, one hospitalization for respiratory issues (doc thought she had pertussis), bronchiolitis, pink eye twice... And now I fear another ear infection! :(. And husband out of town too. I feel your pain definitely. Hang in there, mama!
