Yet Another First in life

Hahaha.. nothing so good this time.. Ear Infection... and in both ears mind you... we were actually quite shocked to learn that Our Little One had infection in not one but both his tiny cute ears... after all the tylenol and going back and forth with the Toddler Bible about when to send the child to the ER (especially since the fever decided to get higher during the weekend) we never had the suspicion that Our Little One actually had an ear infection... why? his hands never touched his ears! and he could be soothed just by carrying and cuddling... ok so the fever never went away for a few days... but hey! it was kept under control with off the counter fever medication... went to the doctor finally when the week started and immediately got the "what did you think you were doing" look from both the doctor and the nurses.. sigh... oh well.. I guess the Daddy and the Mummy did deserve it.. but hell.. only the Mummy got the look since it was the Mummy who brought Our Little One to seek medical attention... sigh.. the stress and pressures of a mother.. still Our Little One right now is on the road to recovery... the advances in modern medicine is to be praised!... One dose of anti-biotics, the fever was GONE... on the down side however, the anti-biotics have to be administered for 7 days, every 8 hours (in a 24 hour cycle).... not doing much to help the sleep patterns of the Daddy, the Mummy and Our Little One... but then again... that does come with the territory of being part of the world's largest fraternity (parents) doesn't it?
