Here we go another week with more than one appointment. Remy is seeing an ENT Wednesday as he is on his 4th ear infection (he is 4 months) then his CT is on Thursday and I am positive he needs to go back to the pediatrician tomorrow as the antibiotics for this last ear infection do not appear to be working. I think I am way more frustrated with the ear thing than anything else. I feel so bad for him - he is so uncomfortable all of the time. I am also going out of my mind as I start the nursing program in January and should be studying med terms and math for dosage calculations however I am constantly just trying to get him comfortable. I finally decided I would just study after everyone is in bed which you probably all know with a breastfed 4 month old I am already not sleeping enough, so right as I was about to come down here to get to work he started screaming and now he is with me fussing and uncomfortable and I am obviously not studying :). I really hope the ENT can help him - this is no way for a little guy to spend his time. So there I just verbally vomited on all of you but I am just really overwhelmed right now - I really think if my baby didn't have chronic ear infections I would feel a bit saner.

I know it's hard, and I hope the ENT can do something to help him out! With us, Bryson had fluid built up but it only rarely got infected - his brother (who doesn't have any cranial issues) was the one who got the infections all the time. I hope the docs can get him all squared away and you'll be able to get some studying done soon....

Life can be so crazy and when you add nursing school into that mix ....look out! Good luck with school. It is a stressful, fact filled, fun, & busy time! I'd be more than happy to offer some support if you need. I am a nurse, too! It is a rewarding job and worth the hard work. ((HUGS)) to you and good luck with your ent & ct appointments.
