Were back, So the Doctor said...(pause for effect) Matty has a ear infection. Like I said always more so here it is. Both boys have to start having albutoral every 4 hours and Matty has to go on his higher dose of Flovent. You heard right both boys have asthma. Mom always knows best!!!Emily for now is are only good kid, OK she is are only no doctor needed kid.
So signs of an ear infection: not sleeping through the night (if that is the norm) crying and pulling on the ear, and yes a fever, but not always trust me on that. If you child can talk they will tell you it hurts LISTEN to them. To do at home: give child Motrin the crying will stop with in 30 minutes, at the same time give yourself Tylenol you headache will go away in the same amount of time. If child does not stop crying give to spouse and hid in the shower, you can't hear crying in there. Have child lay ear on a heating pad put it in pillow case so it does not move around or get to hot. And call the doctor as soon as possible.
OK that is my rant. You know even though my kids drive me crazy and I now the nurses and Doctor and they know us by name (with out a chart) I really love being a mother and I love my children even more. Knowing that they are a gift to me from God and that he trust me with his children means a lot to me and I don't want to let them down.

Well, at least you have some answers, and probably some medication to make the ear infections go away. Good luck this weekend!
I love your diagnosis (better than Web MD) and step-by-step treatment (doctors tend to forget to treat the mother)! :)
I'll make sure Chris reads this in the morning :)
Get better!
