Urgent Care

Yesterday, I had to take Brody to Urgent Care for an ear infection. He woke up early from his nap crying and pulling on his ear. I gave him some Tylenol and called his pediatrician but couldn't get him an appointment until the following day. After awhile he seemed better so we went to get Kate and headed to swim lessons. Brody skipped his lesson while Kate swam, the entire time he was crying and in so much pain. I ended up taking Kate out early so that we could go Urgent Care. The doctor looked in his ear and said his ear drum was very red and he had fluid in it causing swelling and putting pressure on two spots causing the pain. He prescribed ear drops and antibiotics. I put him down to bed around 7:15 and he woke up again around 9:30 whining, so I gave him some Tylenol and put some more ear drops in his ear. He woke up this morning feeling a lot better and not pulling on his ear. Hopefully, he is on the mend.
