"My Ear Hurts."

Monday, November 26, 2012

I felt pretty icky this morning when I woke up and considering calling in to work on my behalf, until Samantha woke up whiny and complaining that her (left) ear hurt. I made a doctor's appointment as soon as they opened and sure enough, she has an ear infection. The appointment was strange...
"Has she had a fever?" No.
"How is her behavior?" Normal.
"How is her eating?" Normal- some times she eats, some times she doesn't.
"How is she sleeping?" Her cough wakes her some times, but I also found her new molars.
Get the picture, she is a normal little girl who told me this morning her ear hurt. Funny.
 The doctor also had an intern with her and Samantha was so excited to show off. She let the intern listen to her heart beat and look in her ear. She even told her how Niko scratched her. Dr. Sperling was impressed and started quizzing the intern,
"How much does a typical 2 year old say?" Intern's answer, "Well, about half is understood by a stranger."
"What about sentences from a 2-year old?", "They usually have 2-3 word sentences."
Dr. Sperling's reply, "And she is saying this much and 2 sentences!"
Re: "Mama, I turn the light on for you. Now get dressed!"

As for how Samantha is feeling now with an ear infection: If she's in the car she'll find something to cry about. Other than that, she is happy as can be!
