Did you just say you can find nothing wrong with this miserable, sweet little girl??!! "The tops of her ear drums are bright red but we can not see the bottom to know if there is any puss so we are going to write you a script for antibiotics and if she is not better in a couple days have her start taking them." OK, I get that maybe it's not so obvious yet, but I am not giving my kid antibiotics just to give them to her. After my mind cleared a little I got to thinking the poor child is just congested and probably could not breathe and was tired and miserable. I am going to take her to the chiropractor and have him adjust her and get the fluids in her body movin properly. I know another hot topic. I believe in chiropractors and naturopathic medicine. I believe there is place for both types of medicine. I got nothing resolved but I sure hope she is tired enough to get through most of the night on her own. I gave her some decongestant and I hope it helps her sleep!! Poor little thing is just miserable. She looks and I am sure feels exactly how I feel!!! Here's to a good nights rest!!
SEE YA IN THE MORNING!!!!!!!

poor thing. hope the chiro works
poor little sugar! hope she sleeps great tonight. UGH! i hate when they have action going on and they still chalk it up to nothing.
some kids are more sensitive. and just being inflamed, causes enough pain to keep them up fussy.
AND some kids just have fluid and feel pain, then there's others that don't complain until it's about to/does burst. sad all the way around. hope the chiro helps too! whatever works
Oh, I feel for you! Those are the worst both for the children and the parents. I hope that you all got a good night's rest and that's she's feeling better soon. Hang in there-
How are you guys feeling today???
I am feeling MUCH better!! Baby H is still congested and grumpy but she slept well. That's half the battle:)
Poor little thing! Hope she gets feeling better asap....for her & for the mommy! :0)
Poor baby! I agree with the overuse of antibiotics. Mayo Clinic says now it's better to let ear infections clear up on their own anyway instead of just giving them antibiotics right away. At least you have a scrip if you need it. We've become a society of pill poppers and that's just caused many more problems. Glad you got some sleep. Hope the chiropractor helps!
I am glad to see that she slept better for you. I hate it when my babies are sick. Good for you not giving her the antibiotics. I love going to the chiropractor. Hopefully she will be better soon.
Hey, remember me? I found your blog from Julie. Wow, 6 kids - bless your heart! Good luck with the sick baby! Her picture looks so sad!
Just a little home remedie that I've been using on my kiddos due to the strict "No Antibiotic" rule. Mix equal parts of 100 proof Vodka and Apple Cider Vinegar. Place a couple of drops in each ear a few times a day and usually by the end of the day - no more pain and a much happier baby and mom! I split the vodka with a bunch of girlfriends - since we aren't drinkers and it made it cheaper. The only place I've been able to find it is at BevMo. Hope that helps.
Just so you know, I had a dream last night that I got 3 foster kids aged 3, 7 & 14. {lol}
