Update on ear infection / ruptured eardrum

All weekend I was worried sick that I had done the wrong thing canceling our appt on Friday :( So this morning I went ahead and brought her in to get it checked out. Our pedi entered and laughed that this was a "sick" visit based on all the squealing and giggling my girls were doing.

She checked out her ear and did say there was some dried blood in it and she could not get a good look at her ear drum, but that most likely it was a ruptured eardrum. Although she was surprised she wasn't in more pain that she was and that I didn't see A LOT of fluid leaking out. Either way, she said since she is acting fine, no fever, eating etc than she will be OK. She also said 99% of the time the rupture heals on it's own. :) Yay!

We will be going back in a week or so for a few vaccinations so she wants to see her ear then and make sure it's ok. If the dried blood is still blocked her eardrum then she wants to refer us to an ENT to get her ear cleaned out.

Glad to have some peace of mind here!!!!!
