Night time is the Enemy for the Ears!

Well, the past few nights have been hell. Christopher has been up every 2 hours screaming and unable to console, he will only sleep for 15-30 min naps after spending at least 30 min to get him down. He claws at his ears so bad that they are bleeding inside and is truely MISERABLE at night. After a round of antibiotics in VN & 10 days of Amoxicillian here, we were back at the pediatrician Saturday morning. He still has fluid in the left ear and the right ear is "a mess" to quote the doctor. So, 1 IM shot of Rocephin and I pray we are on the way to a healthy baby. Tuesday, we go back in for another shot of Rocephin and Thursday we have our first official new baby appt at the ped, even though we will have been there 3 times already by then. I was so glad that he got the shot and we are being more aggressive. He is just miserable at night and Firday night was the worst. Ater the appt and shot, he napped on his own for two 1 1/2 hour naps and went down easily tonight. We just want him to get healthy and well. Still he is such a sweet and happy baby during the day, he plays and and greets us with many smiles. He weighed in at 16.5 lbs today which is a 2.5 lb gain since VN. Hopefully, we are on the road to recovery.
