Ears Update

Monday, Feb 13 - Hospital admission
Tuesday, Feb 14 - Discharged
Friday, Feb. 17 - Pediatrician ear check; showed that the infection was still there and should have been looking much much better by then. So, we added an additional antibiotic
Tuesday, Feb. 21 - Go back to the pedi to get the ears check. It's in the process of healing, but not totally done. After some discussion, we decided we had a lot of things working in our favor: the pedi said we could basically show up whenever we want on Friday and Saturday morning and he would work us in; his snot wasn't green anymore, we still had the antibiotics from the hospital through Thursday and his gait seemed to be improving. So, we will watch Will closely and on...
Monday, Feb. 27 - consult with ENT doctor who apparently works closely with Dr. K. and "gets it"

If I had my wish, we'd have tubes put in on Tuesday, Feb. 28. HA! I'm just hoping that his ears. I'm ready for this little ear-ittating (get it, irritating? haha) adventure to end.

Will also needs to get some listening ears. Our little buddy has been putting on quite the "terrible twos" show and we're cracking down at home and school. He was in time out multiple times this morning and twice at school. When I picked him up today, I sat down at a table with one of his teachers and Will and we had a little chat about putting on some listening ears. We'll see how that works out. 

Age 9 months - when Will had his first ear tubes put in. And also sported quite the mohawk.
