Two weeks ago Sophia had an ear infection. I called the ENT and they said to put the ear drops in her ears and just keep an eye on it. She’s had a runny nose and has been very clumsy, but I thought it had cleared up.

On Saturday after lunch, I noticed she had gunk around her ear. However I thought it might have been MacNCheese. This morning I noticed more gunk, so I decided to get her into the Dr. He took one look in her ears and said, “oh my…has she had problems sleeping, been pulling at her ears, or had loss of appetite?” She’s had no problems sleeping through the night and every now and again she pulls at her ears, but besides that she seemed fine.

Turns out her ears are really bad. In fact, her left tube has fallen out and he said that one looks awful. So she’s on another round of antibiotics for the left ear and some better ear drops for the right ear. I will take her in next Monday to see if they are clearing up. If not, it looks like the family will have yet another surgery in 2007…thank goodness for insurance.
