Double Ear Infections, Round One

The past few days, Aidan has had a yucky runny nose, a cough, and a sore throat. I told Bryan on Saturday that if he was not better by Monday, that I was going to take him to the doctor. Sunday morning he was the same, so I opted to keep him home from church so he wouldn`t make all the nursery kids sick, and called my mom, who is in Utah for a week with her two sisters and my grandmother. She asked did he have a fever and he didn`t, so then she says to check his throat. That`s a really fun job with a toddler and no tongue depressor(note to self, must keep those around) so I managed to get a really short look and then called her back to tell her that I saw white spots. She said to go ahead and take him to the doctor because it could be strep, so we waited until the Urgent Care in Swansea opened at twelve, and off we went. Thankfully, there was no strep, but he has a bad cold and both ears are infected. The good news is that the ears were already starting to heal on their own.
