First Ear Infection

Max woke up yesterday morning with a fever and just wasn't himself at all. He slept most of the day and we had trouble getting his temp to come down. This morning he seemed to be his old self and was very happy but then around noon his temp reached 104.5. Since the Doctor's office was closed, Max and I ended up spending 5.5 hours at the hospital trying to get his temp down. After running many (in my opinion excessive) tests, they discovered that he had his first middle ear infection.

Poor baby, hope he feels better quick. What tests did they run? Didn't they look in his ears first thing?

Oh poor little Max! What an ordeal that must have been in the hospital. That is such a high temperature! Give him a kiss from us! We hope he feels better!

I am so glad he looks better in the pictures. I hope he is back to himself today and that it's your last trip to the ER for a long, long time!
