The Ear Infection Raises its Ugly Head Again

So the saga of Ben's ears continues, because our family is apparently cursed. To recap, Ben had an ear infection a few weeks ago, was treated with amoxycillan, the ear infection came back, he was treated with omnicef, which he finished on Thursday and by Saturday the ear infection came back AGAIN. In fact he and Joel were up watching Transformers from midnight to 3am last night.

In an effort to avoid a second sleepless night in a row we took Ben to the pediatric urgent care clinic after Rebecca's soccer game this afternoon. Ben was very apprehensive about going, asking me if he was going to need a shot. Of course I am an idiot so I said, "No of course not!" I did not know that after omnicef doesn't work, the next thing to do is a shot of rocefin (sp?). Or rather, a shot in each thigh, for 3 days. Boy was Ben pissed!!! His legs are sore, and he is resting sulkily now. He will be even more pissed when I have to take him back to the doctor tomorrow and Tuesday for a repeat.

I think we need to put together some sort of offering to the gods to lift the hex that has fallen upon our household.
