1st Ear Infection

We brag about how healthy Cole has been - he has only been to the doctor for his well baby check ups, at least that was until last week. We had a long week last week. Starting on Tuesday Cole started to spike a fever at daycare. Brian was gone on a fishing trip until Tuesday afternoon so when daycare called me early afternoon I tried avoiding them as long as I could. I figured Brian was on this way home and could hopefully pick them up so I didn't have to leave work. About 2:30 I couldn't put them off any longer. I went to get them and by the time I got there Cole was sleeping for the 1st time that day. I decided to let him sleep since he hadn't napped yet so Annabelle and I went back to the bank to get some more things done. About a half hour later they called me to let me know Cole woke up. When we got home Annabelle went right to her room and got her box of wipes, lined her toys up on the floor and started to clean them. "Cole is sick I have to clean the toys" is what she told us - what a kid! Brian came home not much after we got there so he was able to stay home while I got some work done. Wednesday I planned to keep the kids home for a little while in the morning to see how things went. About 10 Cole's temp was never above 98 so off to daycare we went. He made it until about 3 and then I got a call again that his temp had spiked to 101 so home he went. Thursday morning we tried it again and late morning his fever spiked again. The director thought maybe he should stay home for the day and rest. I had called my friend to watch him on Friday and she agreed and suggested to maybe have his ears checked. I never thought of it because he wasn't pulling on them or screaming when he laid down like they say the symptoms are (but in hind sight Annabelle never did those things either). Brian brought him to the clinic and yep - double ear infection - the poor little guy. He has been on meds for a few days now and is back to his normal self.
