Gunk

Thats whats coming out of Eli's right ear. Blood colored, gunk.

I noticed it this afternoon while I was talking on the phone to my dad. I wanted to panick but didnt. His fingers have been in his ears alot and I thought maybe he just scratched it or something. Then this afternoon before I tried to put him down for another nap (which didnt happen!!) I noticed that the puss was actually dripping out of his ear. I called the ear, nose and throat clinic at the hospital just as our specialist told me to the minute I thought there was something wrong, and of course their all on holidays. Perfect timing, right?

Next phone call on the list, the pediatricians office. I love the nurse there who books the appointments, she got us in within 2 hours! Eli's ear was so gunked up the Dr couldnt even see in his ear. He prescribed us some ear drops, and off we went. Im crossing my fingers and praying that they'll work.

Our appointment was supposed to be at 4:15, but we didnt get in until after 4:30. Im not complaining because they got us in super quick, and I totally appreciate it! But, because we were downtown and didnt leave the office until after 5p.m I had to cancel my teeth appointment. Lucky for me, I can get in tomorrow to get the teeth pulled! Eli went down for an early bedtime tonight. Boy was he tired.

Ill probably sit and eat popcorn tonight. Im trying to get in as much popcorn as possible before my braces go on, and with my teeth being pulled tomorrow night popcorn will be off limits!!

Keep you posted on the little guy! Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!!
