We've been fighting an ear infection for quite awhile now with H. We've fought ear infections since the day we got her (she came to us with a double one.).
Her speech is not progressing as fast as her other skills. She's been on 4 antibiotics in the last 2 months for this...
Her left ear will not drain at all. Nothing we do will get it to knock it back at all.
She's teething at least 3 teeth, and I'm guessing some 2 year molars are starting early too. She's got this wicked ear thing. Add on top of it that every time she goes to a doctor, she vomits. A lot. She gets wickedly upset.
This next week is going to be horrible...with all the pain she's in, and knowing that we are now counting down to getting ear tubes next Friday. I'm terrified of her going thru this. I know it's for the best, but I'm scared for her. I'm scared of how scared she's going to be. Plus, she has to have a pre-op physical too. Poor kid, every Wednesday for 3 weeks now, she's been in a drs office. This week? They had to get house-cleaning she was so sick, to clean the carpets.
If y'all can keep her in your thoughts next week, that'd be cool.

Of course you will be in our thoughts. Just look at this as a step to get her back to where she needs to be. The surgery is not uncommon in children. That does not make it any easier on you or H but at least you know it has been successful many times. It is a lot better than keeping her on antibiotics that will eventually not work because she will build up a resistance to them. That could make it a lot more difficult to treat her for something down the road. Hang in their Kelly. Peanut needs you.
Ah, poor baby and poor you! It's really hard to watch your child go through pain and sickness, I know.
I know many friend's kids who've had to get the tubes, but honestly, it makes it so much better for them!
Hoping everything goes well for you and Baby.
