Well, we are fiiiiiiinally home from the pediatrician's office. The whole visit was just a little crazy. When we got there Ethan already needed a nap so he was being goofy and loud. She checked his ear and said, "yep, definitely a worse infection all I can see is pus". After the ears, she was listening to his chest and she said he was wheezing so she decided to give him a breathing treatment with a nebulizer while we were there. Ethan hated it, he screamed and cried and fought with for the whole 5-7 minutes they said it would take for all the medicine. After the breathing treatment the pedi came back in and decided that since the breathing treatment worked and his respiration rate was lower that he has asthma. After this diagnosis, she concluded that he needed a flu shot. The flu shot was actually the least traumatic part of the whole visit. He didn't even shed a tear. On the way home however we decided to stop by Target so we could get some dipes and then go ahead and get his prescriptions filled. He is now on Augmentin (to try and get rid of the ear infection), Flocin (I think an ear drop antibiotic), and Albuterol (as needed for wheezing and other symptoms of asthma)!!! We had such a fun day and I'm hoping it gets better and we don't hear back from the pedi because the did a culture swab of his ear to make sure there wasn't anything else going on in there. We have to go back in 2 weeks and if the ear infection is gone by then, we have to do the antibiotic shots 3 days in a row and got back to the ENT doctor.
