Short Ear Canals!?!

This picture was NOT taken today.

Apparently my children have short ear canals. This means they get ear infections more often. Both boys have had surgery to insert tubes to prevent the infections. Tubes only last 18 months before they fall out. Cohen's are both out and Jace now only has one left. Thus, Jace has double ear infections AGAIN. It's very sad.



He's a good sick baby. He doesn't cry a lot. He just looks pitiful. Really pitiful. He started with a fever yesterday afternoon. Burned up all night. Threw up (on my neck and chest) several times this morning and once this afternoon. He hasn't eaten a thing all day but luckily he keeps drinking clear liquids. He even had a grape Pediatlyte snow cone tonight (thanks to the snow cone maker R&E gifted us when they moved to CA last year).



I hope Baby Thirdsy doesn't inherit the short ear canal gene. I'm all done with double ear infections. I want Jace's big teeth smile back. I love those big teeth.

Poor guy, he does have an adorable smile! I wouldn't worry about baby #3 cause it's going to be a girl and I've heard that girls have better ears than boys!!! Seriously, every kid I know that has tubes is a boy.

are you prego with thidsy? was that an announcment you slipped in there? :) so yeah A- I have gone mad with the blogging thing. I think it's because there are things I wish I would have given more detail to in past journals and I think having both my grandma's pass away last year makes me want to keep better records for my kids. I would love to have something like this to read about my grandparents and their life. B- you come stay with us in the summer and we'll come stay with you in the winter. C- I can't wait to read some of your journal entrys. I too was so fickle with who I "loved" so funny
