We have our first ear infection...
But you'd never know it from this face:
E and I got home from work yesterday to find some build-up / wax-crud / pus-y* ear-discharge on poor baby boy...
((**BTW - when I first tried to spell out what you would phonetically say outloud as pus-eee - well..."pussy."))
ANYWAYS - so, ear-discharge.
it was yucky, and IDENTICAL to the googled "ear infection" photos.
(and would explain why Ben was screaming bloody murder during the night when he was slightly woken for a diaper change, something very uncharacteristic.)
We called the pediatrician - who, god bless 'em - was all, "can you get here in 10 minutes? We'll stay open til you arrive..."
After a quick inspection and a prescription called in, we're on ear-drops AND antibiotics now for 10 days... and you'd think we're shoving bamboo shoots under his fingernails when he gets his ear drops...
Coming up - SEVEN MONTHS OLD?!?
Poor ears... Your doc is amazing for staying open later for you guys! He must know that the alternative is for sleepy parents and a baby in pain.
