While her ears are a little better they aren't where they should be with 6 days of meds. We're moving on to the last medicine cindistine (sp?). A bad tasting, older med that you have to give 3 times a day. She's a great med taker but they said she should even get the flavoring in it. AWESOME! We go back, yet again!, in about 9 days. If she's not 100% then it's onto a ENT specialist. If she is 100% then we go to a nasal spray to keep her clear and see how long before another one hits since its now warm. If/when another one hits I think it's then to the specialist.
Please pray this will be the last of the season! Seriously, we need the prayers. I know there are so many others that have it much worse but we just don't want to surgery if we don't have to.
I know many have asked about tubes... our worry with them is that we know a few people whose kids have gotten them and then still have infections. I asked about this and the dr did acknowledge it. He said though that with her history and the way her ears have looked lately with the amount and type of fluid he doesn't believe this would be the case with her if we go that route. He really wants to get her cleared up and feeling okay though right now since this session has gone on so long.
The last day hasn't been too great for her so I didn't expect a great outcome today... Mama's gut was right it turned out. I really didn't want it to be though.
Have a happy Easter!

totally random, but my niece had reoccurring ear infections until she started taking a multi-vitamin with iron. they immediately stopped. i recommended the same to a friend whose son was getting ear infections and his stopped. i know this isn't the answer for all kids, but maybe something you could try.... just throwing it out there. i hope the ear infections are over for you guys soon.
