Ears suck.

We just don't have good luck with ears at our house. My ears are fine, but everyone else's suck.

Hannah had 9 ear infections before she got tubes when she was 2. She has been fine since save 1 swimmers ear infection.

Layla had 3 ear infections before we scheduled her tubes. The night before the surgery, she got RSV (so no tubes for 30 days). She had 2 more infections in those 30 days. She has had 7 ear infections since including a busted ear drum 2 weeks ago (tube is out and was healed before this infection).

Matt had an ear infection that burst his drum last fall. That is the closest I ever saw my husband to crying from pain.

Now Adam. He has had an ear infection for 21 days and is on his 4th antibiotic. We see the ENT on Monday, but we don't know why this infection won't clear up. He has seen 3 doctors who all tell us his ears are "bulging with puss". We haven't slept, poor baby can't eat well. It just sucks.

So that is where I've been - taking care of a sick baby.

try out the eardoc!
is is great for ear infections, swimmers ears and so on- it is not invasive and cost efficient!
