Double Whammy

Brennan saw the pediatrician today due to our suspicion of an ear infection. Diagnoses: Double ear infection and RSV. He was prescribed an antibiotic a bit stronger than the antibiotic he was given for his previous ear infection. The doctor explained that he is a "victim of circumstance"--he came down with a cold that traveled to his ears and lungs, due to no fault of our own. He is concerned that he had back-to-back ear infections and that it's only the beginning of winter. If he comes down with another cold, we're on watch for the tell-tale signs. His cough should improve by the end of the week. Despite Brennan's ailments, the doctor was impressed with his good mood and how well he has slept overnight. He's also been in good spirits during the day....95% of the time!
