thank you alexander fleming...

Noah says "I *heart* penicillin!!"....well, actually Noah *hearts* amoxicillin, but its basically the same thing..
After 9 days of guesswork about why Noah was still feeling cruddy, still had no appetite, and STILL had a fever (off and on), he was finally diagnosed with a serious double ear infection. ugh! Its a long story about why it took so long to get an actual diagnosis on him, and in our pediatrician's defense, things actually did start out as viral....but let's just say I will never waste my time in an ER where you have to ASK to have your child's ears even looked at during a physician's assessment unless Noah has a detached limb!

But I do have to say, I LOVE our pediatrician's office...they really are wonderful! And Noah is feeling much better now...back to his silly, funny little ways:) Just in time for lots of Christmas fun!




**and just in case you didn't know, alexander fleming discovered penicillin, hence my title:)

Glad to know he is feeling better. You know sometimes these infections can almost hide themselves until they get real bad. I agree though about emergency rooms they can be frustrating!
