Big Medical Day tomorrow

Would you believe that Hannah is my easiest child to take care of tomorrow (Thursday)? 

Abby has had two ear infections for over a month now.  She had a bloody granuloma in her right ear that had to be suctioned out a few weeks ago.  She did Omnicef for two weeks, and it didn’t help.  Now she is on amoxycillin (same stuff as Hannah).   She is already on her second set of tubes, but her ENT doctor says that they are clogged now.  Also, he is concerned because she should have outgrown her ear infections by now (she is turning 5 next month).

So he did a nasal swab last Thursday, and I found out tonight that she has streptococcus.  But that doesn’t explain her ear infections, however.  But it would explain why she has been acting so uncomfortable for the past couple of weeks.  Tomorrow, I have to take Abby in to get bloodwork done to test for allergies.  We need to figure out what is going on with her now. 

Also, Ethan had another cold sore breakout, and I am on the last of his acyclovir.  Too bad, I didn’t realize that early today when we saw the pediatrician for Hannah (Ethan was at school). 

Like I said, Hannah will be the easy one tomorrow (hopefully!)
