Ear infection post tubes :(

Cam had a rough weekend, sleep-wise. It capped off last night, however - he was up every 45 minutes just inconsolable. He's had a runny nose and cough; we both thought it was the bronchiolitis again, so called the doc first thing Tuesday morning.

When we saw her, after doing a quick lung check, she checked Cam's ears. Turns out that the tube in his left ear is blocked and has caused an ear infection. The right tube is still in place and doing its job. Cam wasn't particularly cooperative while she was trying to check his ears, so she's not sure what is blocking the tube.

She put Cam on the amoxicillin for 10 days and advised us to go see the ENT doc to see what can be done about the blocked tube. We're hoping this doesn't mean any additional surgery but will have to wait to find out until we see the ENT doc on Thursday (we're so happy they are able to squeeze us in!). Luckily this is early in the ear infection and hopefully Cam will feel a lot better in a couple of days when the inflammation goes down.

Dr. Nave doesn't think this is going to impact our trip to Hawaii next weekend, but of course, we want Cam to feel as good as possible for the travelling we're about to do. Fingers crossed the amoxicillin does its job quickly!

More on Thursday…
