Madi Grace

We went back to the doctors office again today because I knew Madi
Grace still had an ear infection going on! When we got there, she not only had the ear infection that I was certain of, she had an ear infection in both ears! We started our first antibiotic about a month ago for her left ear. Completed the whole dosage and the left ear still remained with an infection. We returned to the doctors office and started another antibiotic to see if it would clear it up. We just finished that one last Friday and it seemed to be gone. Then starting on Tuesday, she was complaining of her ear hurting. We learned at the doctors office today that BOTH ears are now infected. They gave us a Rocephin shot and another antibiotic. They are working on getting us scheduled with Dr. Cosby, the ENT specialist. Dr. Cosby put in Madi Grace's first set of tubes at 9 months old. Looks like we are about to be heading for a second set! I hate that she will have to go through that again. However, it looks like our only option at this point! We have to put a stop to this. I worry about it affecting her hearing after all of these long term infections! I had alot of ear problems when I was her age and Jay's ears bother him off and on to this day! I guess I should have expected our child to have ear problems of some sort!!!!
