First Ear Infection

Paige has been very fortunate and blessed to be a pretty healthy baby, but she just got her first ear infection. I am not complaining because I know that 10 months with no illnesses is awesome, but I do feel bad for Paige...as I know all mothers feel sympathetic for their sick children.


I knew something was awry yesterday when she woke up with a 101.3 temperature. I know that is not extremely high, but since Paige never has a temp, I was a bit concerned. I gave her some Tylenol and then panicked because I hadn't chosen a new pediatrician for Paige...it just figures...when we lived in KC she was never sick and now we are in Linn with no pediatrician and she does get sick...just fabulous! Isn't life funny!


Well anyway, with the recommendation from a friend I chose a doctor for Paige. I made an appointment with Dr. Folz for this morning. We actually really liked her a lot...she is very personable. Sadly, Paige wasn't her chipper self (understandably), so Dr. Folz did not get to see her sunny personality. I assured her that next time Paige would be smiley for her.


Here is Paige with her Grandma at the Dr.'s office. She looks happy here but that is because she is eating a mum-mum and no one is trying to look in her ear! LOL!
