We had an unscheduled visit to the pediatrician today. For the last few weeks, Judah has been tugging on his ear, and it has sounded like there might be fluid in there. Like when you get water in your ear after swimming. Naturally he never acted like anything was bothering him, and of course he won't spike a fever. When his ear started smelling funky - like an infection was brewing - I waited a few more days. I kept thinking...I don't know what I kept thinking. I guess, since he was so fine, I was trying to avoid going to the ped. Especially since we'll be right back out there for the other 3 kiddo's annual check-ups on Thursday. Anyway, when the funk got worse I decided I'd better take him in. He's got a nice pussy infection raging in there, and still acts as if nothing were wrong. He hasn't even been pulling on his ear much. That boy. We got away with ear drops for now, hoping that will be enough to take care of it. Please, Lord, no new medication right now.
Judah gets his endo bloodwork tomorrow, along with the bloodwork that's needed to test for the eye disease. I really hope it goes well tomorrow, because Judah doesn't exactly have a stellar track record when it comes to getting blood drawn.
In other news... Judah has figured out how to get to the toilet paper, into the pantry, and how to open the LEGO drawer. Great for him, not so great for his mama.
