Still Infected

I just got the mommy gut feeling that the antibiotics hadn't worked from the last post that I had made about her ears and called the doc yesterday to see if she could be seen. She has her one year check up on Friday, but Friday is a long ways away when it comes to babies and their ears. We got Lola in after school and sure enough, her right ear is still infected. So a new set of antibiotics was given (the same thing happened at her last ear infection in November I think, Amoxicillan didn't work so they had to give her Omnicef to get rid of the infection). She has an appointment with the specialist on Monday the 16th to see what is going on with her ears and to see about tubes. Honestly, I want them to do tubes so that this whole ear infection thing goes away. Seems like Lola ALWAYS has one and then I feel like a bad mom that my kid is always sick.
I will keep everyone posted as to how that appointment goes when we know!

You are not even close to a bad mom! Not that it makes it better, but it seems like the more moms I talk to- the more I hear about their kids' ear infections when they were babies. I hope there is a solution in the near future...
Can't believe she'll be 1 YEAR in 2 days?! (By the way, still no details on the party??)

Poor baby! I hope she gets feeling better soon. The opposite happened to Shelby when she was Lola's age. They gave her the omnicef because she had a really bad double ear infection. It didn't work so she ended up on amoxicillan. It's so interesting how our bodies work and how everyone's is so different.
