Ear update

As I told you on Monday, Maxwell has a double ear infection and started on Amoxicillin Friday.  I was really hopeful that he’d be back to his old self by Sunday but, no such luck.  When he was still pretty pitiful on Monday morning I took him back to the doctor and she confirmed that the infection in his right ear was not getting better and his left ear was even getting worse.  No good.  So, she gave him a prescription for a stronger antibiotic, Augmentin.  After even just two doses he already seems to be doing better.  Thank goodness, he’s just been so miserable.  I think it hurts me almost as much as it hurts him!

I took these pictures Monday morning before I decided to take him back to the doctor.  You can just see in his eyes that he doesn’t feel good…

These ear infections have been like a horror movie…that’s why I decided to dress him in his Freddy Kruger shirt.  ha!  I bought this shirt at Old Navy and had no idea that Freddy Kruger always wore a red and brown stripe shirt until Robert told me when I got home. Guess it could be a makeshift Halloween costume if we need it!

Hopefully this horror movie will be over soon and he’ll be back to his smiley, giggly self!

In case you’re wondering (although I’m sure you’re not), the birthday pictures from yesterday were actually taken earlier last week before he got so sick…that’s why I got a few good smiles out of him! but, if you look at them again, you can see that he’s got redness under his eyes and looks a little tired..the infection was coming!
