Mylo was sent home from daycare on Thursday—Kathy said that he wouldn’t nap, and would give a very distressed cry when she would lay him down. She said she thought he might have an ear infection, and that she wanted to send him home in time to get to the doc. Sometimes she’s a little dramatic, so I didn’t think much of it. When I got to the daycare he seemed fine, but tired. I would have just taken him home, but he pulled on an ear, and she was persistent that he might have an ear infection.

I called the doc on a whim and got the last appointment of the day with his regular doctor. Dr. Shearer looked at his throat, looked at his ears, and then announced that both ears were infected. Less than a week after Chris was started on Amoxycillin for his double ear infection, Mylo was started on the same thing…except Mylo gets the bubble gum flavor!

He’s doing well today, and likes this medication much more than the Septra suspensions. Mylo has been in good spirits; he’s pulling himself up on things and bonking his head, exploring, and pulling blankets over his head so he can pop out when I ask, “Mylo, where did you go?” Somehow we lucked out with a kid who’s a happy camper even when he hurts.
