This poor baby woke us up last night screaming at 9:30 and we could not get her to calm down until 11:00 after we gave her ibuprofen. It was the first time she has ever been inconsolable. Usually, even if she hurts herself it takes a minute or two or she nurses and is back to her happy self. It was so heartbreaking to listen to her cry and hold her and try everything we could to make her better without it helping. Thankfully once the meds kicked in she was able to go back to sleep.
This morning she seemed better so I took her to my mom's house to take her monthly pictures, but she wasn't quite herself. I debating taking her back to the doctor, but once 2:00 pm rolled around ther was no more debate. She was back to crying for no apparent reason. This time Dr. Fern saw her and said that both ears were infected. Her left ear, which she had her first ear infection in, was blocked with wax so he had to use a little hook to pull it and what ended up being runny infection out. His guess is that she had a slight rupture which is what made it so painful. When I asked about her ears being clear the day before, he said that three times in his career he has seen ear infections come on that quickly.
24 hours later and a day at home with Dada and antibiotics, Finn was back to her normal happy self!
