I think L may be working on an ear infection. She just got over a long cold about a week ago. And then she started coming down with another last night (eff you, winter!). Today she was super grumpy (and overtired/overstimulated from the holidays). My grandma noticed her scratching at her ear. She never tugged it, like I hear to watch for, but she definitely was scratching at it this evening. I feel so bad for the poor girl! DH is going to take her to the pedi in the morning to check it out. Of course we were just there for their well visit Friday...
Thanks GOmamab15 and greysonsmom. Just heard from DH who took her to the pedi this morning...just a cold. Her ears looked fine. Thank goodness. Cold number 3 so far this year. Can it be spring now?
pbandj714, I'm glad your DD's ears are fine. My DD had an ear infection last week and it was no fun. This is her second ear infection (the first was in October). This one was way worse than the first. We took her to the pedi and was prescribed amoxicillin a week ago on Monday. By Friday she was still irritable and not eating well; so I decided to take her back to the pedi Friday night because I didn't want to run the risk of going into the holiday weekend with her needing medical attention and the doctor's office being closed. I'm glad we went because both ears were still infected and the amoxicillin wasn't working. So after five days were still at square one. We got a new prescription for a different antibiotic and this one seems to be working much better. She is eating and her behavior is back to normal.

Aww, poor thing!! Sick babies just break my heart. I'm glad the new antibiotic is working!
