....Bummed




It is hard to hear what she is saying. All of a sudden on Thursday night, Ellie started singing her days of the week. I love it when she learns new things.


On Friday the 24th, I took Ellie to the doctor because she had zit like bumps on her left leg. It turned out to be the start of a staph infection. Along with the staph infection, she had an ear infection in her left ear. She went on a antibiotic for 10 days.


Christian took her back to the doctor on Wednesday for a recheck. Still an infection. She had to do her first urine sample too. Poor Christian!! So back on another antibiotic. I went ahead and called the ENT and set up an appointment.


On Thursday, they called and said her urine sample didn't come back good. So, back to the doctor on Friday. They are not sure if she had a UTI or not, but the antibiotic that she is on will clear it up if she did have one. I think it had already started killing the infection, so that's why the results were not definite. The doctor also said that her right tube is just sitting in her ear canal and there is so much fluid in her left ear, they cant tell if there is a tube or not. On Thursday at the ENT, they will probably take the right tube out and suction the left ear out.


I think Ellie is on her way to her third set of tubes! Ugh! Poor child. The good this is Ellie doesn't seem to be bothered by the ear infections. We will see what the ENT says on Thursday.
