We had a routine doctor appointment today with the allergist and had planned to go back to school afterwards, but it turns out that Sam has a raging ear infection in his right ear and a possible sinus infection too. That would explain the crying Saturday night that his ear hurt so bad, the insane snoring and general lack of enthusiasm that he usually shows every day. His lungs sound clear, which is really great news when you are a boy with asthma who is sick.
We enjoyed a nice breakfast at IHOP and now he gets to stay home, rest and start his antibiotic. We are watching movies and keeping warm.
In a few weeks we will go in for a check up on the ear and get a flu shot. Whenever he hears "get a shot" he totally freaks out. "I'm not that sick mom", "where will they put the shot?", "does Toby get one too?".
