XP: Double ear infections, ruptured ear drum and wheezing...

MassaRN

what fun!!  Marina woke up from her nap and her right ear was draining fluid...called the dr and got an appt. right away.  She ruptured her right ear drum, has double ear infections and is wheezing from her horrible cold so she is now on nebulizers for the next few days.  The kicker is that last week she was running 102 temp, took her to the dr on Thursday, but she was fine, slight cough, but nothing else.  Called the on call doc on saturday because she was wheeze a very little amt.  we were told just to watch her and make sure she didn't get worse...the only reason I took her today was for her ear draining.  Don't I feel like a great mom that she has so much going on and I didn't take her back.  Luca stayed home with dad eventhough they are both sick with the same thing.  The doc said to give Luca some nebs too and bring him in to have his ears checked too.  What a night it has been.  Now poor Marina gets nebs at least twice a day, ear drops twice a day, oral antibiotics twice and then her regular thyroid meds....poor kid is doing nothing but taking meds....Please god don't let me get sick!!!  Think I have a chance

Poor Marina. I hope she is feeling better soon. I brought Brandon to the doctor a few weeks ago because I was convinced he had an ear infection but the doctor said he is just teething.

OMG!  I'm so sorry!  Poor babies, every one of you.  But you did follow your instinct and call it in, the Dr just didn't look at the big picture.  Hang in there.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Poor babies. You were on top of things as much as you could be. Mine just got over a cold and I'm still on ear infection watch.

Poor babies!  I hope all those meds kick in soon and you all are soon feeling relief from it all!
