Can we be done yet??

Seriously?! Another ear infection. SSDD. I'm so over this. Paulo was complaining last night of ear pain in the same ear that ruptured last month. He's had a little off and off temp. This morning is was still hurting and temp was still a little high so I called to get him back in. Yup, it's infected...again. 2nd time in less than a month. Same ear. I feel so bad for him. He's in pain, although not as severe as last months, he's missing school and his friends, and he can't sleep well-which means I can't sleep well. My fatigue is catching up with me and weakening my resolve to do right by my body.....must....resist....candy bowl....

The doctor we saw today, not our usual one, didn't think it had anything to do with his allergies, I disagree. She thinks the eye ball incident was bacterial. I disagree, particularly because the symptoms resolved with a dose of Claritin. But honestly, I don't care what she thinks. And really the "how" of it all doesn't matter. Did the allergy attack cause it or did exposure to bacteria or virus?? Who cares!? The end result is the same, my child is in pain and needs medicine to clear up an infection. Just write the prescription and we'll be on our way. We see the allergist tomorrow. We go back to our normal doctor in two weeks for another recheck of the ear. I'm just so tired, so very very tired, both physically since he's not sleeping well and emotionally drained from battling for his health. He's never been a sickly child. He was a very healthy baby. I know that going to school exposes kids to a lot and I believe that through exposure ultimately his immune system will be stronger but in the meantime....I'm contemplating a bubble. A nice, safe, clean bubble to put him in. It'd be like Rhino's ball in Bolt. I'd put a door in it, it'd be see through, he could still see the world, just DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!!! Better yet, how about a beautiful, CLEAN, tropical island. We could move there, he wouldn't get sick if we lived on a tropical island-ALONE! He might get bored with only me as his playmate but for at least 5 years he'd be content to play pretend people with me and munch on fresh mangoes. So if I suddenly drop off the face of the internet look for me on my own private tropical island. Just don't come visit unless you have a full bio hazard body suit and can guarantee you won't expose my son to any illness!
