The Curse of the Ear Infections!!


Our poor little boys have been cursed with chronic ear infections. Ethan had a ton of them before he turned one and then ended up getting tubes in his ears at 13 months. After the tubes, however, he was great!! He hasn't had anymore ear infections. Well, Eli came along and was doomed to have the same fate as his big brother. He also had numerous ear infections before he turned one and got tubes in his ears at 13 months as well. Eli's tubes, however, have not stopped his ear infections. Since he got tubes put in about 2 months ago he has had 2 more ear infections. But now you can see the infection drain out of his ears - yuck!! The close up picture of his ear tried to capture the yellow, oozing goo draining from his ear. He seems pretty uncomfortable for the first couple of days and then he is right back to his active self. He loves to be outside and I included a picture of him trying to ride Ethan's tricycle. I love my active, energetic and enthusiastic boys - I just wish those darn ear infections would stop bothering them!!

  1. Poor Eli. Poor Beth. I'm sorry you have to keep going through this. Hopefully it will let up soon. I love the picture of him on the tricycle.
