After Cal's bath on Tuesday, he started screaming that his ear hurt. We thought maybe his tube had fallen out and he was having a strange sensation, but after an hour of tears we knew it was something more. In the middle of the night, he awoke with a fever. I shouldn't say "awoke" since he didn't sleep much at all. He rolled around in our bed all night and I was up with him every hour. The poor kiddo was in pain. Luckily, a trip to the doctor resulted in some ear drops that will quickly zap the infection.
This is where the ear infection got funny. When I took him to the doctor, she walked in and he said...."I'm Cal. I have an ear confection." :) She then listened to his lungs and he was giggling that it tickled. I told him that she was listening to his breathing and he sat really still. He said, "You hear that doctor? Yep....you hear that." She started cracking up, as did I.
We got home and both of us took a long nap. Ollie wanted to make sure Cal was feeling better, so she cuddled up next to him all morning.
When we woke up, he said, "I know! A popsicle will make my ear feel better!" I can't argue with that logic, especially when it's 80 degrees and sunny outside.
He's on the mend now and hopefully we're done with all illnesses, aches, and stomach bugs for(ever) a long time.
Davis wanted to show off his big boy clothes (all 12-18 month).
"Hi, I'm Davis and I'm humongous."
