Ear Infections

Last week we had a pretty bad cough going on with Adi. I know cold/allergies are an issue now so I wasnt too worried. Felt bad for not being able to make it go away for her more than it was affecting her. She didn't cry or fuss other than 1 morning when I woke her up for the day, she just wanted to snuggle momma so I decided it best I stay home with her. She had a pretty bad morning but by that afternoon she was doing great again, other than her tugging at her ear once in awhile.

While I know she has a wax issue (an abundance) in her left ear, I have just been keeping an eye on her temperment, any fevers, etc.! Well, she has had no fevers not fussy other than when she wants to eat and so on. So I was not worried.

Well, yesterday, Thursday, Adi came to work with me for the day and everything was great. She was doing her normal tugging of the ear every once in awhile, UNTIL a guy here at work, Dustin came to play with her and she was all smiles and giggles for him. Then, she grabbed her ear and would NOT let go and just started crying...so, I got on the phone with Dr. Murray right away and she wanted to see her right away. We went to the clinic and sure enough...we had to clean out the was for Dr. Murray to see her ear and of course, there is the infection! Antibiotics for 10 days and we are off to the races! I told Dr. Murray I feel bad taking her in like that because she was all smiles and happy therefore anyone other than momma or daddy would not know anything is wrong! I am glad I took her in and hopefully get her feeling better for our 3 day Memorial weekend.

Big news....ADELYN IS 7 MONTHS OLD TODAY! I can't believe it! Our baby girl is 7 MONTHS OLD! And since we were at the clinic we got a weight check....17lbs 3oz. and 27 1/2 inches long!
