Well that didn't take long.
Carrie and I took Shane to get looked at today. Genevieve watched him during the day and he acted like he felt fine when he had medicine in his system, but whenever the medicine started to wear out it was clear something was amiss.
Shane got his throat swabbed for strep, his nose probed for the flu, and his ears peeked in.
It was the ears. Go figure, that a tube falls out and WHAM! Ear infection. The other tube is also out but hanging out in the ear canal.
Shane's got antibiotics in his system and Carrie's staying home with him tomorrow. I know we originally wanted to avoid that, but tomorrow is the big science field trip for my team.
It's her turn anyway! Hopefully, it will be a relatively nice day for them. Shane's sick, but the meds are effective. That could mean lots of cuddles, TV, and playing with minimum drama.
I wonder if this is a coincidence or if it's the start of a trend that will lead to surgery again.
It worked wonders the first time, so I'd do it again in heartbeat.
So sorry Shane is sick and wish we were there to help. Love you all,
