Jul 31, '09 11:53pm: Still sick, but fever is down

Anthony's temp is down to 100.2 without any meds. His ear is still filled with some dried blood. Poor kid is droopy and tired looking. We are really hoping that there isn't anything stuck in his ear. We've talked to our day care provider and she had no incident to report at all that would have resulted in something going in his ear. Anthony doesn't really touch it much and didn't touch it too much prior, so it's hard to figure out if the problem is physical, viral, bacterial, or whatever. The doctor has cleaned it out twice and still can't see what's going on before Anthony gets too much in pain. The doc will be calling us through the weekend. We have an appointment for Tuesday with the pediatrician and probably an ENT. We continue with the antibiotics and ear drops....and the love and care. Anthony's a little on edge lately, but it's understandable and we're extra gentle with him. He seems to be sleeping well at the moment. Earlier today we took him to a hobby shop and got him a toy train. He had a blast and loves the train set.
