Bullous Myringitis

Benson has been quite the little sicky for the last week. He has been running a fever off and on, threw up once, a little diarrhea, very tired and lethargic, etc. We figured it was just the flu that EVERYONE seems to have right now, but when he woke up with a fever again this morning I decided to take him in to the doctor just to be sure. He has an ear infection in both ears. In the right ear it's just a normal ear infection but in the left he has bullous myringitis, which means he has blisters on his eardrum. Poor kid. So we got him some antibiotics and hopefully he will be back to normal in a few days. We are all sick of being quarantined. If our lucky streak continues within a few weeks Grace will have her turn with an ear infection. These kids of ours are going to have incredible immune systems some day with all the practice they are getting.
