Still not crazy ...

... Alex still has his ear infection (actually two). So on Friday he began a round of antibiotic shots. He's not crazy about the shots, but he already seems to be feeling much better. His cold has even seemed to clear up. His eyes aren't puffy and goopy anymore. He gets his last shot this afternoon. In his appointment on Friday the doctor actually said things like "I don't want to sound like an alarmist" and "we'll need to have a heart-to-heart about tubes" and "now, don't go all teary-eyed on me." Needless to say, I felt pretty crummy. But at least (yet again) my suspicions were confirmed that he still had an ear infection and that my little boy wasn't crying "just because." That makes me feel better. If only I could get baby to feel better too!

poor little guy! Ear infections are the absolute worst. I hear tubes can be a godsend. I had 'em and it worked out well for me!
