update on Samuel's ears

I talked to the pediatrician's nurse yesterday. I wanted to let them know that Samuel has another infection so they could put it in his chart. Since he will be done w/ this antibiotic on Thursday, we're going in Friday afternoon to let the pedi re-check his ears & see if the infection is totally cleared up. Whether it is or isn't, we're going to discuss calling the ENT w/ him then. We're hoping he can flip through his chart & tell us how many infections he's had in the past year so we'll know what we're really looking at. It seems like, in the past year or so, he's had several. Colds, sniffles, sneezes....it all tends to end up in his ears as an ear infection. If he does suggest going back to the ENT, the nurse said that they could probably call & pull some strings to get him in a little quicker than whatever luck we'd have if we call ourselves.

Ugh, what a bummer. I worked for a pedi -ENT, while I was in nursing school. It was so sad to see some children in, over and over again, with ear infections. I am sure you are frustrated. I hope you can get some answers.
