Ear Update

For those of you asking about Ben, he stayed home from school Monday (It was actually the very first day of school he has missed all year! Pretty impressive). I took him to the pediatrician where they repeated the shot, but decided he did not need to come back for another on Tuesday. Instead they put him on a 10 day course of augmentin, after which he needs to go see an ear, nose & throat doctor. Today he went back to school.I do agree that needing antibiotic shots for an ear infection does seem like a bit of overkill. Ben did get a day off school and a Wii game out of it, so I think in the end he was okay with it. Well, maybe not... If the augmentin doesn't work the ENT may decide to put tubes in. He did have tubes as a toddler, but they are long gone of course.
