The cause of Ear Infections!!

Thank you.... thank you... yes I figured out what causes ear infections... (well really the credit should go to Easton :) )

lol...............

Ian has been getting his eye teeth for a couple of weeks now... man he is as the doctor put it "meaner than a skunk." The doctor said "I need to explain an old wives tale, teething causes nothing but your child to be meaner than a skunk. If there is anything going on other than that you need to come see me... " lol he was really nice. Just really different than their old doc. So anyway on with the story... He ended up telling me Ian had one ear infection, the other ear on the verge, and a really sore throat. Poor kid. We went got him medicine....... etc. etc. This was Saturday.

Monday everything is fine... Ian is still "meaner than a skunk," Easton is fine up running around as usual. That night comes along and Easton was being really rambunctious, wouldn't get ready for bed... Court had finally had enough, and said to Easton "Easton if you do not get ready for bed right now, I am calling Santa and telling him not to bring you anything!" I know we are mean parents... He runs gets ready, we get him to bed, and then about a half hour later he comes in just sobbing... complaining that his ear hurts.. We get him some Ibuprofen, and get him back to bed. I woke up Tuesday morning and called the doctor got an app. and took Easton in.

Here is the conversation that we, or Easton had with the Doc.

Doc: So your not feeling to well..

Easton: My Ear started hurting last night when my daddy said those bad words to me.

Doc: (Either he didn't hear him, or pretended for my sake that he didn't hear him.)

Oh my...... I didn't know whether to laugh.. or not.. or be so embarrassed. Because if the Doctor did hear he probably thought Court had been swearing at him the night before.

So now you all know the real cause of ear infections... would ya quit swearing at your kids!!

Easton did have a really bad ear infection, the doctor said he couldn't believe he was sitting there so calm. I have learned though that Easton is a really tough kid, when he complains about something hurting I know something is wrong.
