The dreaded day has come again, (luckily they don’t come to often) Jaxon woke up sick. At 3 AM his ear was hurting him enough to come and wake me up. When I couldn’t immediately take the pain away the tears started. After a dose of motrin (dye free of course) and his trusty rice pack, he finally dozed back to sleep. When I woke him up for school this morning he immediately started whining and crying that his ear was hurting…I knew that meant no school and a call to the doctor. Of course after another dose of motrin he is acting like himself again, but I’m fairly certain we are dealing with a good ole’ ear infection.
Just a few things we do when one of the kiddos is home sick….
*Lots of Orange Juice (or clear fluids if it isn’t a cold)
*Movies in Mommy’s bed.
*Lots of books in Mommy’s bed.
*Soup (Kettle makes a good gluten free chicken noodle that Jaxon likes).
*Smoothies
*Naps (I like this one!)
*Learning games on the iPad.
*Rice packs
*Motrin (I like the dye free version, and we don’t use any tylonel in this house).
*Organic popcicles.

Poor little guy, this is so out of character for him!
A little motrin and he was feeling much better.
Left the couch for a more comfy place to rest.
Waiting for the numbing drops to take effect.
Just a quick update for you! Neither of the boys had ear infections!!
Carter is getting over something viral (he has been on Olive Leaf and Core Berberine for about 5 days now) and Jaxon HAD A HUGE PIECE OF PAPER IN HIS EAR!! I couldn't even believe it when the doctor pulled it out (it took a lot of time, patience, and numbing drops to get the job done) and Jaxon has no clue how the paper got in there - go figure. Anyway, back to school for the boys, and hopefully a better nights sleep tonight!
