Yesterday, I took Nixon back for his two week check up on his ears. This was a scary appointment for me since the doctor informed us we couldn't have another ear infection without going to the ENT. Anyway, luckily, the ear infection was completely gone, but the doctor says there is still alot of fluid in his ears. She told me it's pretty normal to have that fluid up to 3 weeks after an infection. The bad thing about that is, given his history, if he gets another cold, he'll more than likely get an ear infection. She told me not to wait like I normally would to bring him if he gets sick because he's so prone to get them. Anyway, in the mean time, we're celebrating our small victory (yea!), but scared to death to get around anybody with even a sniffle. Pray with us that we can make it the rest of winter without getting sick. We certainly don't want to have our baby put to sleep to get the tubes and I definitely don't want to fight him with the ear plugs until they fall out. Come on summertime!!
He takes it with him everywhere he goes and somehow it got lost at the daycare on Monday. We had six teachers searching for it, but finally we decided to go home without it. On Tuesday, I was hoping someone had taken it home by mistake and had brought it back to school, but no such luck. The boys and I set off to Wal-Mart to try to find another one. We found one similar, but he could tell that it wasn't the same one. When I dropped Nixon off on Wednesday morning, his favorite teacher was there, so I mentioned it to her. Wednesday afternoon, it was back in his cubby. Thank goodness! Wednesday night was the first night that he slept through the night since "Baby" got lost. Coincidence? I don't think so!
