Ear Infections and Coughs

So the kids have been coughing a lot lately. Isaac went back to the doctor last week for his cough and got more anti-botics, we just can kick it out of his system. Janna's has gotten worse and we were waiting the two weeks. Simon hasn't been quite right but could tell what was wrong. This weekend he started with a higher fever and coughing, so we thought it might be more than just his teeth coming in. He hasn't been as playful or smiley or eating as well.

Turns out...Simon has a double ear infection. We had no idea. I briefly mentioned something a couple weeks back when he quit sleeping as well, but Isaac said I was paranoid because of Janna. Then he got better or I got used to the sleeping schedule. Oh well. He doesn't scream when you put him down, so we had no idea. We hope that this is just an ear infection and they don't get bad like Janna's did.

Janna this morning said that something was stuck in her throat, so cute:) Part of her ear is really red outside area of the tube. Her throat was a little red but okay.

Both her and Simon have clear lungs so it is just a cold and cough. Both kids had to have wax cleaned out of their ear in order to get their checked. This was the worst part for her. I had to hold her down and she got so upset. Simon got his second round of the flu shot he needed.

Dr Lewis was really nice and we like him. He did well with Janna.

Janna is 26.5 pounds and
Simon is 16. 2 pounds.

They start their anti-botics tonight.
