When will they stop? The boys were getting more and more fussy and all of the other usual signs indicating they might be headed towards ear infections. I waited about a week to see if the cold-like symptoms would subside on their own, but to no avail. Conditions continued to deteriorate, so I made the call to our pediatrician this morning to squeeze them in.
After a mad dash to get everyone ready and fed AND to the doctor's office in less than 35 minutes (I can't believe I actually did it!) my suspicions were again confirmed. The doctor is putting them on Augmentin this time around as opposed to the usual Amoxicillin. Hopefully it works for them, we'll see I guess.
I asked her at what point we begin to discuss tubes, so she went back through their charts. She said she is hopeful they won't be getting anymore, since the cold and flu season is drawing to an end, but that we would probably have to have that talk if they end up with one more before May.
Tubes aren't the end of the world, but I can't wrap my head around the possibility of sending them both into surgery. My poor little babies, they just aren't feeling well and that makes me a sad mom today.
