The day before we left for Florida I spent about 5 hours carrying a screaming baby around the house. Never, and I mean NEVER has Carson cried for so long. He was clearly in pain. The kind of pain that makes you grab your ears and pull your hair, no seriously...that's what he was doing. I knew something wasn't right. I called the doc and got an appointment for Monday afternoon. As soon as the doctor looked in his ears he saw it...the dreaded ear infection. But wait, there was more "infection" in ear numero dos. Yup, our little man got a double ear infection before our first family vacay, and more importantly our first time flying with the little guy! Yikes, and double yikes. When I told our doc that we were going to be flying the next day he made this awful face, and proceeded to tell me he could write me an excuse to try to get our money back for our flight. Um, we ARE going to Florida Dr. Harrison. I'm pretty sure Granny, Pops, Mimi, and Poppy will have a fit if we are no shows. haha He prescribed some amoxil (which Carson enjoyed taking, I actually think he loved it), along with some ear drops for pain. He also told us to give him Children's ibuprofen every 6-8 hours for a few days to help with pain. When Carson woke up Tuesday morning he was his happy self again. Love that kid. He is quite the trooper!
He LOVED the flight! He only cried for a minute while trying to get comfy to fall asleep. The take off and landing didn't bother him a bit. He loved the people watching in the terminals, looking out the little windows in the airplane, and the sugary apple juice he chugged during the flight.
Daddy and Carson looking for the ocean and palm trees!
