The Not-So-Well Well Check-up

Caleb had his 9 month check-up today (even though he's almost 10 months). He weighed 19lbs 13oz and is still in the 95th percentile for height. All was well except for one thing...a double ear infection! Let me backtrack a bit: He had some allergy issues a few weeks ago (runny nose, sneezing) but never had fever or seemed ill. I had the same issues. I blame Hurricane Ike. Anyway, the last few days he's been extra clingy, fussy, not sleeping, just not himself. I was beginning to get frustrated with his constant need to be held and constant yelling (no, not screaming...yelling) for no apparant reason. He's been eating and not had fever so I really didn't think he was sick. I blamed teething. Anyway, I've been snappy with him lately and even Ethan was telling him this morning "What's your problem?!" Now I find out he's been battling a double ear infection. He's been yelling at me that his ears hurt and he feels crummy. All that is to say I'm the worst mom ever and I have guilt beyone belief. I know, that's hard for some of you to believe that I have guilt. :-) Ever since I found out about his ear infection I've been doing nothing but holding him and playing with him. Poor little guy......
