Ear infections are no fun

This past Friday at school Elem seemed to be really down in the dumps and then he started running a fever that just seemed to keep on going up. :( I basically held him for 2 straight hours until Grammy showed up to pick him up from school and take him on home to her house. By the time I got him home and we tried to put him down for bed he was burning up! Little did I know he would end up running around 104 the ENTIRE night, which led to all of us sleeping in one bed because he was so miserable, only 15 minute intervals of sleep, a few accidental slaps to the face (mine and seth's faces that is)due to his pain and uncomfortableness from the fever, many tears, and lots of pitiful, "mo-mmy"s. It was overall such a bad night. Nothing hurts worse than to see your kid in pain, knowing that you are trying everything you can to make them feel better and nothing seems to work. With tylenol and motrin not working, all we could really do was wait it out. And finally, around 6 am the fever broke and he fell asleep for about an hour or so. First thing Saturday morning, we headed off the doctor to get checked out and wouldnt you know it, he had a double ear infection. I thought he was possibly starting to get one in his right ear because the day before he told me, " my ear owie" :( But until friday he didnt really have any side effects. Not much of a runny nose, no coughing, nothing. And then bam, double ear infection. I felt so sorry for him, knowing that both of his ears probably felt yucky, and he just wasnt feeling good overall. While we were there the doc mentioned that with the high fever we should watch him because it might be the flu! No!!!! (I was a bad mom and didnt get him the flu shot this year, because I feel like every time people get the flu shot, they end up getting the flu) We started getting the antibiotics down him ASAP and he has been on them for 4 days today. Unfortunately last night he started running a fever again and went to bed around 6:30pm. My poor baby. We might be heading back to the doctor today to get that flu test after-all. Just going to see how well he perks up when he wakes up. Please remember him in your prayers. :) Every little bit counts.
