Sorry in advance for this blogpost. It's a wee bit on the negative side...
Shane and I have come to the conclusion that we are single-handedly putting our doctor's children through college.
Seriously.
Zay has another ear infection.
We were at the doctor on Monday to have his ears checked after the last round of antibiotics for his double ear infection. Doc said, ears are 'pink', but that is expected since he was just finishing up his 10 days of antibiotics.
Zay seemed to be feeling well for 2 days. That's all we got...2 days!
Last night...Zay was miserable again. Digging and pulling at his right ear. And laying down wasn't an option.
Another visit to the doctor this morning. Left ear is still a little pink...right ear is fully infected.
Another visit to the pharmacy...the other locale we are attempting to drop our entire life savings.
Had the discussion about tubes this morning too. I wasn't surprised. We decided we are going to hold off to see if we can take care of this ear infection with the antibiotics and then see if we can keep Zay healthy for another month. After that the cold and flu season is over and we should be out of the woods and not have to deal with tubes. Fingers, toes, arms and legs are crossed!
We will go back to the doc in approximately 10-15 days to check out the 'ol ears again. Until then, we pray for a little boy that feels better and maybe a little sleep for everyone...this always helps (my) attitude and patience!
One last thing...Shane and I are starting a fund for braces and glasses.......because when you are lucky enough to have the handful of health issues that Zay does, YOU KNOW you will luck out and be the kid that needs braces and glasses too! Just kidding...kind of. :)
My verse for the day...
I lift my eyes to the hills – where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2

Hi Jackee. You probably didn't even know I follow your blog! I enjoy reading updates about Isaiah and your cute little fam. I'm not sure if you have a chiropractor in your area but we've been taking Lily to the chiro since she was 3 weeks old and it is super duper helpful in preventing ear infections (among a slew of other benefits). Our chiro specializes in children and her 4 year old daughter just recently got her first ear infection and one adjustment took care of it! She told us that when a child is on antibiotics they're 7 times more likely to get one again! I couldn't help but pass along the info to you guys too. Hope something works out for you soon!
Wow, sounds like we are in the same boat - first, we were at the doctor this morning as well. :) And second, we discoverd that Mia has another ear infection - we are on the 4th round of medication for ear infectins since January. Fun Fun! Hope Isaiah feels better soon!
