Both kids have a double ear infection. I took Nate in on Tuesday for a cough. It was a deep, hoarse cough that started Friday. Normally I wouldn't have taken him in just for a cough (no other symptoms besides the nearly constant and normal for the season runny nose), but he had the same cough less than two weeks ago. Thinking that it might be bronchitis, I decided I better take him in just to be safe. Glad I did!
Maddie hasn't been sleeping well for several days, but I chalked it up to teething. She always seems to be gnawing on something lately. But last night she spiked a fever and could not sleep. We were up almost all night, on and off. I even brought her to bed with me and gave her Motrin, but nothing was working. So first thing this morning we headed back to the doctor's office (kicking myself for not having the doctor check her when we were there for Nate as she had a runny nose too) and sure enough, she has a double ear infection too. Hers is even worse than Nate's. And you could tell. She was miserable today (so snotty and gunky around the eyes). I had to lie with her on the couch all day as she would fall in and out of sleep. She finally started feeling good enough to get off the couch and play this evening. Hopefully they both get a good night's sleep and feel better in the morning.
