Poor Addy

My poor little girl! She blows my mind sometimes! Yesterday she slept in until 9 o'clock, which is about 2 hours later than usual. At first I was like Woo Hoo! Then a little while later it happened. Yep, she's sick! Scott was holding her and sure enough she had blood coming from her left ear. Mind you she has not fussed a bit, complained or run a fever. So we head to Urgent Care. We signed in at 12:15pm and was called back in about ten minutes, before three other children that were waiting. I guess that's one of the perks to having special needs, we get seen faster! The doctor was really nice and my little one weighs 22lbs and 4 oz!!!!! Big WOO HOO on that one! He tried to look in her ear but it was so nasty he had to do a little cleaning. He was very gentle and was able to get a little stuff out. No tube came out though but I'm pretty sure it's already out and so was he. He was unable to see her eardrum because the outer ear is so swollen and infected there was no way he could see all the way down the ear canal! Poor thing! So she now has an ear wick in and is on Augmentin (bring on the poo) and an ear drop that has an antibiotic and numbing medicine in it. We go back and see her Ped on Wednesday to have the wick removed and to see if he can see the middle ear at all. The Urgent Care doc said that with an infection this bad she really needs to have tubes again. I agree but I guess we'll have to convince Dr. Ears who discharged her in August! So here's my happy girl with her poor little ear!
