Oh I am so sorry your week so terrible. I can’t believe he has another ear infection…poor little guy. Ears attached to kids born on 07/12/07 definetly seem to have issues…I think its time for a recall.

Everybody imaginable swears by tubes in the ears…except we haven’t been as lucky. For that reason, I hope that you guys doing have to deal with them and that Cooper just magically stops getting ear infections!

Good to hear your boss tell you to work from home. Thank the Lord for small things, eh? Maybe you should open an Etsy and sell that homemade jam so you can stay home.

That so sucks…but it sounds like it is still not definite about the tubes. Is the follow up to see if the fluid is gone? Are you still doing the allergy meds to help dry him up?

Oh, how heartbreaking that he’s going through this again. Poor little man I know how god-awful it feels to not have the coverage you need when your child is sick, too. And your car. And it’s always at the same time, isn’t it? Am so glad today is going better, and I hope the sediment-Rx clears this up quickly.
Hang in there, Momma. It’s going to turn around. ((hugs))

Poor Cooper. Maybe they’ll have an installment payment plan for the tubes … I just keep reading blog posts about how much BETTER things are for kids who get infections that won’t clear up after they have the tubes.

I hope he’s feeling better ASAP.

Oh, Colleen. I’m sorry you had such a rough day. And it’s so hard seeing your little one sick time and time again. I remember when Punkin went through several months where she just kept getting sick and I just sat there on the phone with my husband and sobbed “I just want her to get well!” Here’s hoping things are looking up. I’ll start praying for that cash thing you were talking about.

Oh honey, that SUCKS. I think you should get an extra day added to your life just for surviving that one.

If it makes you feel any better, my check engine light has been on since 2006.

Awe . . . what a time you’ve had. I was breathless just reading. Big challenges.

Biaxin has always worked wonders in my family.

I hope Cooper feels better (and his mommy, too).

I’m sorry the deductible is so high, tubes really did change our lives. As you said, the antibiotics, co-pays, missed work, and everything else adds up as well. And isn’t cold/ear infection season just starting? $1,000 is a Lot of money, but is there any way you two could do it? Does the hospital work with you at all? Can they characterize it in a way that works better for your insurance?

It is true that infections usually stop, but it is around 2-3 years old and Cooper still has a little ways to go.

I’m sorry you’re feeling overwhelmed, I hate it when life gets that way.

Okay, I am tired just reading all this. I am so glad my kids are beyond the “I’m sick but I can’t tell you what is wrong” stage. I cook when I am stressed too. Keep on keeping on!
