The month of the ear infection

Cheetos and TV
Jon firmly believes in no television exposure until two years of age.  But desperate times call for desperate measures.  Poor sick baby just needed to chill out with some Cheetos and PBS kids.

She's had quite the antibiotic course indeed: 
  1. Amoxicillin (flav-Rxed grape) started mid-March for 8 days, after fever and bright red inner ear
  2. Switched to Augmentin for 5 days, recurrent fever with persistent beefy red ear
  3. Switched to cefdinir for 13 days (per ID curbside at Children's... nice perk), still fussing and red
  4. Switched to azithromycin for 5 days (which is what I wanted Rxed after amox failed...dang guidelines)
  5. Relief finally!!! 
Hopefully these rough last several weeks are over : )
