Ear infection!

Michael has an ear infection. Luckily he is a very happy baby and it really isn't bothering him. Today was pretty rough though. He woke up at 6:30am and didn't stop whining until 8am. I have been up since 4am because he came to bed with me and was very restless. At 12:30pm he started crying and didn't stop for 45 mins. We took him to the Dr. and they checked everything. They ever did some x-rays to see if he might have swallowed something. They had to put him into a harness which was basically a plastic tube. John went in with him and said it was horrible. I could hear Michael screaming in the hall.  So after all that they say it was just gas.

He fell asleep on the way home and slept for a while. When he woke up he was still grumpy but seemed ok. Then around 7pm I noticed something wet in his ear. I figured it was something I missed when I cleaned him up from dinner. Nope, it was stinky puss. We took him to the urgent care 5 mins before it closed and they were nice enough to see him. Then we went on a search for a pharmacy that was open and had the antibiotic we needed.

We got home, got him medicated, gave him a bath and he is doing much better. He finally decided he was hungry and stole half of my bologna sandwich from my hand. So I gave him some bologna and American cheese and he scarfed it up. Now hopefully he goes to bed early, which means before midnight.
