Summer Ear Infection

For the past few days Logan has been a little fussy and pulling on his ears. On Friday I took him to the pediatrician and it turns out he has a double ear infection. We saw a different pediatrician than usual because Dr. Pearlstein was off. The doctor asked me if Logan had ever had an ear infection before. I replied that he had one during the winter. She looked back in his file and reminded me that he a double ear infection on New Years Eve! I completely forgot about the trip to the ER on Christmas night, being home bound during winter break, and not going out on New Years Eve because Logan had become sicker with a double ear infection. He was only 7 1/2 months at that point. So we went about 5 months without an ear infection. Hopefully this doesn't turn out to be a continuous cycle. However Amoxicillan does work for Logan and clears up the infection. He also really likes taking the medicine! Very unusual I think it tastes chalky. Logan does love sweet stuff though. So we just hung out at home on Friday. Logan is feeling a bit better today. He was running around and playing this morning before we went to Target. He is napping right now. This afternoon I am taking him to Grandma and Grandpa Harris' house for a sleep over. I definitely had to spend some time thinking about this. I had to make sure he was well enough to spend the night out. Brian and I are having a much needed date night! We haven't been out alone since maybe March (I say maybe because it could have been February). We don't know what we are doing yet maybe dinner and a movie. We are just excited to be spending time alone.

Glad you got your date night in after all and he is quickly recovering. We are due for one of those ourselves.
