poor baby.

This morning I took my sweet daughter to the pediatrician for what seems to be the 3rd (or 4th?) week in a row.  She's been battling double ear infections and recently ended the second round of her antibiotics.  She's just been off lately which could be attributed to teething, a growth spurt or ears.  Not wanting to risk it (and since her 9 month appointment isn't until next Tuesday) I wanted to be safe.  The doctor checked her right ear first which is better - yay.  Next the left ear - ugh, not better.  Really?  This is her 3rd infection back to back so that makes her a candidate for the Ear, Nose and Throat specialist.  She has an appointment with them on Friday and most likely they will want to put tubes in her ears.  I have to admit, as routine and common as the surgery is, I didn't really expect to have it done to my baby.  Just another reminder that I am never in control.
