it's chronic


You can't tell from the picture but we love our Pediatrician, Dr. Loucks! I have mentioned that we have frequented her office before. We have been in several times since the first part of February for Porter with ear infections. We were in just two weeks ago for this. We just went through our forth regimen of antibiotics and then went in yesterday for a follow up before we head off to Idaho. Well, the little man still has it! It breaks my heart to see Porter pull at his ears and cry from pain, so Dr. Loucks broke out the big guns. Porter had an injectable antibiotic given. It is a big dose so it has to be spit up into both legs. Because it is thick they have to use a fairly large gauge needle that left little black bruises on his thighs. It is also a three part deal. We will go in again tomorrow and Monday to repeat the shot process. Just to be in the clear after that we were referred to a pediatric ENT doc to check things out. If the shots don't work we will have to talk about tubes in Porters ears. We are keeping our fingers crossed!
