That sounds a bit like Mambo #9. Only it's not quite so fun. Especially just one week after finishing the course of antibiotics for ear infection #6. We follow up with Clara's doctor in ten days, but it looks like we may be seeing an ENT specialist for her.
Her poor cousin Alex, at ten, has so much scar tissue in his ears from infections when he was a baby that he has to take ibuprofen around the clock whenever has has a cold. His ears hurt him an awful lot and he may be facing surgery to remove some scarring. We really hope to avoid that, and if we have to have tubes put in, so be it.
So, for Clara it has been a rough winter. She's been struggling with ear infections and teething nearly constantly. Actually, for the rest of us it hasn't been too bad. We all had a terrible cold over Thanksgiving, and since then Lee has had some minor colds and one ear infection that didn't require treatment. I had a stomach bug, and I currently have this crazy virus that feels like just a minor cold except for extreme exhaustion unlike anything I've felt since being pregnant. Bridges has mainly just suffered from chronic tiredness.
Unfortunately it's not even April, and last spring we had two stomach bugs and two ear infections during April, May, and June. I'm crossing my fingers this spring is better!
