Carson Update

Update (4/18/03):  We made it through the night puke-free!  Yay!


4/17/03:

Ear looks quite a bit better already, the right tube has been out since January.  His left tube has always been a mystery as it's quite waxy.  I flushed his ear with saline this time though and he definitely had/has an infection.  The good news is that the tube appears to be possibly still in the right place.  On Monday his ear drum was bulging and super red and the tube looked crooked/on it's way out.  Now his eardrum is not super bulged and the tube appears to be better placed than I originally thought.  In fact, his ear looks so much better already I really wonder if it drained overnight because it shouldn't have improved so quickly otherwise.  Not sure.

I asked his pediatrician if we could stop his antibiotics since his ear looked so much better but she was hesitant to do that (it's still infected just way better).  So I cut the dose back a bit and am making sure not to give it to him to close to bed time as I don't want that to upset his stomach in addition to the GI bug.

Regarding the GI bug, he is still puking.  6 days, always at night now.  Please pray that we make it through the night puke free!

Thanks!
