Double Ear Infection

This past Sunday Leah wasn't acting her happy self and was tugging on her left ear on and off so on Monday I decided to schedule a doctors appointment to get her ears checked out. We got in Tuesday morning and found out that her infection in her right ear hadn't gone away and now she also has one in her left ear. Poor little peanut! We are back on antibiotics but luckily this type we only have to take once a day as Leah isn't a fan of taking medicine. We saw a different doctor and he also prescribed us some ointment to hopefully help speed up getting rid of the chalazion (lump on her eye).

I also gave in and scheduled an eye appointment for Leah and we had that Monday morning. The ophthalmologist confirmed that it was a chalazion and that it isn't any danger to her it her vision. There isn't much we can do about it besides waiting or surgery. Since it requires the patient to be put under and it doesn't seem to bother her, we opted for the waiting option. So we will keep doing the warm compresses and try out the ointment and hopefully it will go away sooner than later!
Waiting for the ophthalmologist. She actually did very well in the waiting area, it must have helped that she wasn't feeling good since she is usually very loud!
