So I decided that I ought to call the doctor this morning to have Camden looked at. With him waking up in the middle of the night screaming for an hour and then him occassionally still grabbing at his left ear...thought I should do it before the long weekend. Thank goodness I did.
He said the right ear is fine but the left ear still looks "dull"...he did not say infected, but "dull." So he gave me a prescription of zythromax (sp?) for him to take over the next 5 days and said that I could either wait and see if he gets better or wait to see if he gets a fever then start it or just go ahead and start it now. Since we are about to be SWARMED around people I thought it best to just go ahead and start it now. He also gave us some ear drops to put in the one ear.
So here is hoping we get a full nights rest. *sigh*
Oh and did I mention that we also got our Flu shots today? Decovin got it in his arm...his very first arm shot...big boy! LOL! He cried longer than Camden did. I got one too. I have to take Camden back in a month for a booster. Yippee! Anyway...
Happy Turkey Day tomorrow! Love you all and hope you are all having safe travels if you are out and about!

I feel for you! We had 2 1/2 months of back to back ear infections w/ Hudson until he got tubes - they saved his ears. Word of advice - make sure he gets over them, so have him checked regularly.
Jen, it's always something, isn't it?! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving--I'll be watching for a new post about Camden's ears!
