Update: Ear Infection

Yesterday, I said that Eileen seemed to be feeling better.  Boy, was I wrong.

After I wrote the Sick Baby post, I noticed that Eileen was tugging on her ear.  A lot.

 So we went to see Dr. Powell.  She looked in Eileen's ears and quickly determined that the poor girl has an ear infection.  Eileen slept a lot yesterday and is taking the baby equivalent of a Z-Pack.  It's flavored grape and she seems to tolerate it (she did not like the bubblegum flavor she was given last ear infection).

Dr. Powell commented that Eileen was very friendly and playful for a baby with an ear infection.  She even tried to play patty cake with Dr. Powell!  Just like her last ear infection, Eileen never ran a fever, she never shrieked with pain, and she really didn't slow down much.  The only symptom was her tugging on her ear.

Let's hope she recovers quickly- we're going to have a busy, busy weekend!
