Today I took Sawyer to see his doctor. My mom and I were noticing yesterday that he was still grabbing at his ears and being kind of fussy during the moments that he normally is fine (ie. after his bottle, sitting in the carseat, etc.). She (our doctor) checked both ears and the right one is better but the left still has some fluid in it. She said that is definetely is not as bad as when we went in on the 3rd of March but it's still infected. So it was back to the Wally World pharmacy for more medication. He was also weighed today and was at 20 lbs and 12 ounces.
I just feel so bad fo him that he is having such a hard time with his ears. The doctor said that it is very common for babies to have ear infections frequently due to the way the ear channel. In adults it is more veritical whereas in babies it is still horizontal therefore causing fluid buil-up because it can't drain. She said that she doesn't worry too much until after they turn one. So I'm praying that we will only have four more months of this.

At least he's not crabby when he's not feeling well. I love you Sawyer!

Poor little guy! I suffered from LOTS of ear infections as a child and it's no fun. Heidi had her fair share, but it's true, as they get older, they get better :) In the meantime, make sure his ears are ALWAYS covered when outside and that no cool air gets in them al all...it does help :)
