Ear infection #3

After several sleepless nights last week and 2 teeth breaking through, I thought for sure we'd get some sleep soon. This weekend, however, brought pretty much no sleep from Lachlan. He doesn't cry a lot in the night like the others did; he's more of a yeller, so it's impossible to sleep through it.
When we were at Dr. Gulde's office last week to check out Jonas, he looked at Lach's ears too and saw some fluid but no infection yet. Because of that, I hesitated to make Lachlan "cry it out" this weekend without knowing for sure that his ear was okay. So, early Monday morning, I called the doc for an appointment. Unfortunately, Dr. Gulde was booked, so we had to see his new partner at 8:40. Because we live on the other side of town, it was a race across town with everyone in their pj's. I also had to throw Reef's lunch stuff in the van since he had preschool that day.
We made it to the doctor's office right on time despite some major fit-throwing about a change in routine! I figured since we were her first patients of the day, we'd be in and out in no time. WRONG! We waited our usual time in the waiting room and quite a while in the back room too. I was very frustrated about this since: 1.I knew we were her first patients, 2. She knew were were there and said hello while we were getting weighed, and 3. she continued doing paperwork for another 15 minutes before seeing us! So frustrated!
Finally we were seen and another ear infection was confirmed. Monday was a fussy day for Lachlan, but the night went much better with Motrin and antibiotics on board! Praying for healthiness from now on!
