How to make an ear infection feel better.....

Poor little Carter has been battling with ear infection after ear infection. He's had a rough couple of months. Just this last week his pediatrician referred us to an ENT doctor to discuss the possibility of ear tubes - we meet with the ENT on Thursday. Apparently Carter constantly has fluid in his ears so they're the perfect breeding ground for infections. They are also concerned that the fluid is contributing to his lack of speech. He's still well within 'normal' for speech, but Mommy is starting to get a little concerned. Anyway, on another HOT day in Va Beach, the boys found a little relief in the sprinkler. Yep, I'm the mom who lets my kids get in the water regardless of their attire - - of course, Anderson is donning only his briefs and Carter went in 'fully clothed'.... if it makes his ears feel better even for a few minutes, I'm all about it..... ; )
