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..... ; )

jackson is often in our front yard wearing only underpants, if it makes you feel any better. and just yesterday he and his neighbor friend taylor were in the spinkler with him in underpants and she in a diaper. i was too lazy to go in and get swimsuits. and fully clothed, well that works too! :) sorry about carter. i hate that for YOU and him! hopefully they can get him hooked up with some tubes and it'll be smooth sailing from here on out! :)

We'll all be glad when he's fixed up good as new. It's just so hard when you know they don't feel good!!! The sprinkler is always good for a little relief!
