Earache.

Owen started complaining of ear pain yesterday afternoon and went downhill fast. He was pretty miserable by late afternoon.

I called the advice nurse this morning the second they opened (10:30) and got a 1:00 appt. The kids and I got there at 1 (Dan is at work) and they didn't bother to call us back until 1:45 ... saw the doctor around 2:10. Bleck.

He has both swimmer's ear, which is an infection in the outer ear canal, and an inner ear infection so we get a fun double whammy of amoxicillin plus some drops for the swimmer's ear. We then got to drive back to Davis, go to Long's to drop the scrip, go home, back to Long's ... all with a miserable and cranky child. Here it is 5:00 and I finally was able to give him the amoxicillin.

It has been a long day.
