during thanksgiving i think i blogged about how gavin didn't feel good (teeth) and was up all night long some nights. well.........
it might of been his ears :( as well as his teeth.
sunday morning gavin and i both woke up feeling miserable! i ate nothing all day, besides white rice at 9 pm, and gavin was gagging all day long... i was waiting for him to start vomiting (super sad and hard to watch)...
monday morning i felt a little better and gavin seemed to be just fine, besides a little bit of eye buggers -allergies i thought- but nothing big, right? nope, was i wrong! tuesday it was a little worse and today his eyes were glued shut with some nasty buggery/hard substance.
i called the clinic and got the first available appointment.
gavin has an eye and ear infection! i just about busted into tears as his doctor checked his ears and said "ohhh buddy"....... not a good sign. gavin hasn't had many ear infections lately, but up until month 9 in gavins life he had many.
the doctor said.... "it's time to talk about tubes" :(
i'm totally upset.
she also said that ear infections are genetic (g.r.e.a.t.).... dan's parents have said numerous times that when dan was little he had ear infections, one after another. i'm not sure why he never had tubes, but i know that whatever medication they put him on took almost all the enamel off of dan's teeth-- thus his bad teeth. gavin's on two medications, one for ears, one for eyes and i'm hoping that it will get cleared up, asap. please Lord!
so since i've been home i've been googling and doing some research on these "tubes".. i know it's not the worst thing, but as a mommy i'm really nervous about it. i called dan and he's freaking out- which NEVER happens. plus, gavin is such a water baby that having to be extra careful and put in ear plugs would kill him, cause i know he wouldn't EVER keep them in!
now.. me.
i already said that i didn't feel very good on sunday. but last thursday i was noticing that after i ate i didn't feel good. odd. well this is really in affect right now! i just ate some grapes and a morning star veggie patty (delish) and sipped on a diet coke (a rare occurrence these days) i am sitting crossed legged with my computer on my lap and am getting dizzy/lightheaded and completely nauseated. i've had to stop twice while writing this to get up and walk around.
i think it's time to for me to go to the doctor now :(
we have all felt like your feeling at our house for the last week too. I went in and she told me to take mucinex (so expensive but bought it)
ReplyDeletefeeling a tad bit better ;)
Breck also had ear infections for 2 months straight! It was so sad, and yes i cried alot, and still do when he's not feeling good...so hard to see.
He had tubes about two weeks ago! i was sooo nervous, but it went SO well. Ten min and done!
and i just brought him in yesterday to recheck his ears and they said his ears are PERFECT now! so happy to hear finally!!
SOOOOoo
if they recommend it! do it!
worth it..for your sake and HIS!
