Babies with double ear infections are not happy babies!

Elliot has been congested since the Saturday before Christmas - poor baby.
Since the infant cold medicine recall, there is NOTHING left to give a baby with a nasty snotty, phelmy cough. The only thing we can do for him is turn on the humidifier, spread on the Baby Vick's and pray it passes quickly.

When the snot decides to hang around for too long it collects in little baby ears and will eventually turn into an ear infection. Yesterday when he started pulling on his ears we figured it was time to take a trip to the doctor's office (after going to Walgreen's and begging the pharmacist to "un-recall" the OTC stuff). We took him over to Urgent Care (our regular doc is on vacation and her back up was booked) and found out he has a double ear infection .... siiiigh. The doc took a look in his ear and said "Ouch, he has an infection in there" then he looked in the second ear he said "oh my, this one is worse" .... poor bug!

He's a trooper, but he's not eating or sleeping well so we know he feels icky. And no sleep for baby = no sleep for mommy and daddy = cranky baby AND parents ... HA!

Amoxicillin here we come ...
