Owwww, Those Ears!

Well, Jordan's on the road to tubes in her ears. She's sporting almost constant ear infections over the last few weeks, despite amoxicillan, augmenten, and now Cefzil. . . . Ugh. But, the good news is that despite all this, sh has NOT been in the hospital! Woo-hoo! This, too, is a big step for her. It was close on Saturday evening, but she was once again able to keep herself hydrated, cough up her secretions, and especially not aspirate on them. She's doing better on all fronts.

On the way to her doctor appointment down in Portland we picked up Avery & Kate from pre-school & went to OMSI for a couple of hours, to play in the play room & to watch the Dolphins IMAX movie. I joked to Robin (Jordan's nurse) that most moms would avoid germ-fests like a kids play area when they have a sick kiddo, but not me! Gotta get out of the house for some fresh air & fun. Of course, the pediatrician chided me about the same thing, but was glad to hear we are able to get out & do things with both girls now that we have Robin's help part of the week.
