another ear infection

yesterday we went back to the doctor's office. mommy made an appointment because she didn't think it was a good idea to have a little walrus as a friend. i got to see Dr. S! the doctor mentioned nothing of the croup (which was the reason for the appointment), but she said i have...you guessed it - another ear infection. she said she couldn't tell if it was the end or the beginning. did you know that 80% of ear infections clear on their own? but the other 20% have a chance of getting into the brain, so they never want to take those odds.

This time we're back on 5 mL 2x a day (same as the very first ear infection i had - which seemed to clear up fine). this is a little more than the last one i had, but we're not exactly sure that one cleared up... so far i'm taking the medicine well - i suck it right out of the syringe. :)
