The Double Wammy, Ear Infections That Is

Owen has been running a fever since Monday. It has spiked to 102 - 103 degrees a couple times. Tylenol has helped keep it down but we weren't sure the fever's cause. I mentioned in my last post about his head cold (just a stuffy/runny nose) and then two weeks ago he had his shots. The one immunization can cause high fever weeks after getting the injection. Plus he was pushing through a tooth. So, we finally decided to get him checked out because he's been shaking his head and pulling on his ears somewhat.

The doctor looked into his one ear and instantly said it was really nasty. His other ear is bad too but not as bad as the other. Poor little guy! So, now he has a 10 day coarse of antibiotics and he also got some ear drops for the pain.

Another Tooth for Owen

Owen's other center bottom tooth popped through the gum line today. Unfortunately he hasn't been any less cranky. Let alone the teething, he has a head cold and it's making him feel pretty cruddy as well. Poor little guy. 

Beside my usual computer work and daily kitchen duties, I am trying to juggle Owen and folding/putting away laundry today. I'm literally dealing with laundry up to my elbows. I should just learn to fold and put away laundry after it's dried instead of doing all the washing/drying one day and then the folding/putting away another day that week. It just gets too much to handle and then I have to worry about using the Downy Wrinkle Releaser spray (I hate to iron). I know Barry would reel in reading this because I know it frustrates him the way I do laundry. Well, back to work. TTFN!
