Ear Infection for Jacky poo
I hate seeing my kids sick. It breaks my heart. This morning Jack woke up and was just in so much pain. It took me about 10 minutes until I realized it was his ears that were bothering him. At first he was saying it was his neck. I was just waiting for vomit to come exploding out of his mouth. But then he started holding his ears and just crying. He didn't want to lift his head up. So we cuddled. Then I decided to bring him into the Urgent Care. While we were waiting, all he wanted me to do was scratch his back and sing him twinkle twinkle. So that's what I did. I'm not gonna lie, I love cuddling him. And even though I hate that he is in pain and is sick, it's just so comforting to me to hold him again, the way I did when he was a teeny tiny babe. Turns out, his ear is infected and we got some drugs and are slowly feeling better. The good news is he hasn't been running a fever. The other good news is that ear infections are NOT contagious, so I shouldn't have to worry about Finn getting it. A lot of the time ear infections occur because the fluid from the colds don't drain properly and obviously colds are contagious - but actual ear infections - nope! Did you all know that??? Anyway, Jack is still napping and I'm hoping he wakes up a little bit refreshed.

Oh my gosh poor Jack, that's awful! I hate when they are sick you just feel so bad for them. There's nothing you can do to make it go away except for cuddling, which is the best! :) I hope those drugs kick in soon and he feels better.
