Rowan's First Ear Infection

Well, my President's Day was spent in the Pediatrician's office with Miss Rowan. I thought something was up when I picked her up from Sandy's and she kept tilting her head to one side. Then came the cough, the congestion and finally the runny nose. I thought oh no! Can it be possible she's sick again??? I ran her in and sure enough, in his words, "she has a raging ear infection" in her right ear. So...on Omnicef she went. We had 5 doses (5 days) worth of Omnicef only to find that her symptoms seemed worse so we went back this morning. Now, the right ear is worse and her left ear is filled with fluid as well. So, she has a double ear infection! We return on Thursday to see if the 3rd antibiotic (Bactra) has taken care of it. Dr. Laycob says that if it doesn't, he's sending us to a specialist, and ENT. Great! I'm sick as well...on a Z-pak. I think I don't have much immunity this year because I didn't start the year with these kiddos! I'm not used to their germs. We definitely can't wait 'til Spring so that we can air out the house and get rid of these germs!
