Last night Henry went to bed at about 8:30. I went to bed at 10:30 but couldn't fall asleep until about 11:30. He woke up a little after 12 and I stayed with him for about an hour. Back to bed. He woke up at about 1:30 saying that his ear hurt. Uh oh. I took him out into the living room thinking that sleeping with me holding him upright on the couch might make him sleep better. Nope. I finally managed to get him back to sleep and got back in bed around 4:30-5 this morning. He woke up for the day at 6:30, again complaining about his ears. Th next 3 hours was basically him screaming about everything: his shirt, his socks, having to change his diaper, wanting to watch a "pickle movie" whatever that means, etc. Finally I got an appointment at teh doc at 2:45. Thankfully he took an early nap and was relatively happy for the rest of the afternoon leading up to the appointment. Dr. Rob looked in the first ear and declared it "full of puss, super red and bulging". Not good. He said that the second ear was better, but not by much. He said it must have been hurting him pretty badly. Poor little man. So off we went to get the prescription filled. It is a HUGE bottle of antibiotics. HUGE. 3x a day for 10 days. Should be fun. The good news? With Henry's new insurance, we had NO co-pay, not for the appointment or the prescription. Yay!
