Soren and I just got back from the doctor. This poor kid has had a rough month, health-wise. 3 1/2 weeks ago: He was diagnosed with an ear infection and was on antibiotics for ten days. 2 weeks ago: He came down with a stomach bug and threw up ALL night. Luckily (?), it was the day after Christmas, so at least he was able to enjoy the holiday. Extra-luckily, we were at my parents and had help when he was sick. And when I got sick. And when Ren got sick. And then I was able to help when my parents took turns getting sick. The rest of us largely recovered after two days, but Soren took about a week to totally recover. 1 week ago: He got over the stomach bug and came down with a cold. It seemed to get better for a few days, then got WAY worse (feverish for several days.) Last night: His cough was finally starting to diminish, but halfway through the night he woke up crying and spent several hours in a lot of pain. ("My ears hurt!") Turns out he has a double ear infection,
