Ear Infection

My son has an ear infection. He was sick in December for almost 3 weeks. Then he got better, until New Years' Eve. He woke up at 11 pm with a high fever. After a few days, he seemed better, but then he got a high fever again.
At this point it is nearly impossible to get a doctor's appointment due to a lot of flu, colds and covid. After talking on the phone for half an hour, my mom (Ward and I were working and Finn was at my mom's house) convinced the hospital that it was necessary to give us an appointment because we couldn't control the fever.
The next day, we were able to see a doctor. Turns out he has an ear infection in his right ear and the beginning of an ear infection in his left ear. We got some antibiotics and he seems better now.

I hope Finn stays better. I'm sorry your holidays were so stressful, but I'm glad they finally listened to you and gave you an appointment. Love how you've documented this!
 
Thank you so much for your kind words, Lynn. He is slowly starting to feel better. His fever is gone and that helps a lot.
 
Poor guy! So glad y'all got him some meds. Ear infection are not fun. Love the way you scrapped this memory and the amazing clustering
 
What a creative layout for journaling. I hope your kiddo is feeling better. It's so hard to see our littles not feeling well.
 
Thank you so much for your comments, ladies. Much appreciated.
Yes, he is feeling better. I don't know if his ear infection is over, since he can't tell if he is hurting, but it seems he isn't in pain any more. Tomorrow is the last day he can get his medication. But he is feeling himself again. He only has a running nose.
 
It's so stressful when our babies get sick. Glad your mom was able to convince the hospital to see Finn and to be properly diagnosed. Getting any kind of appointments with doctors is so difficult here too. Glad Finn is on the mend. I love how you've documented everything. Beautiful page!
 
Oh gosh - that is no fun! Especially when they are so little! Chris had an earache today. We had a pizza party with friends at Chuck E Cheese last Sunday, his real bday was Monday and he had a small class party celebrating turning 7. Then we woke up sick on Tues. and missed all the rest of this week. =/
 
aww poor little buddy! I'm so glad your mom advocated for what she thought was right for your son! Good for her!
 
Way to go, Grandma! I'm glad she was able to convince the hospital to help you--ear infections can get nasty! And I'm glad he's doing better. Love the page you made--the cluster work is so good here.
