First Ear Infection

Abby turned 5 months old last Wednesday, the 14th. Wow, how time goes by so quickly. Seems like just yesterday we brought her home from the hospital. Last week she got her first ear infection. No good! She is such a good baby we had no idea until her little ear drum actually ruptured. She woke up at 4am last Thursday and screamed until 11am. We knew she was in pain but thought maybe it was her acid reflux acting up. We called the Dr. office and they said reflux too. Well, not the case. That night her right ear began oozing some nasty stuff. She has been such a good sport. Finally got her into the Dr. today and after waiting for 1 1/2 hours we got a prescription for some antibiotics and ear drops. Hopefully she will feel better soon! According to my baby book, I got ear infections quite frequently as a baby. I am keeping my fingers crossed that she doesn't get another anytime soon. Poor Baby.
