First updates: Jack is doing well. We went to his "2nd opinion" ear appointment this afternoon and I really liked the new ENT. He spent time with us and actually listened and pondered and asked us lots of questions. Unfortunately, his answers were somewhat like we have heard, although not exactly the same. He would like to find out exactly what's growing in his ear and why we can't get rid of it. He did say that there should be no permanent damage done to his ears from all this drainage. He is not having any central nervous system symptoms or systemic symptoms so it's just a bug back in the middle ear and mastoid that have taken hold of the whole ear. The new doc didn't see why we were going back and forth on basically two antibiotics when there seemed to be no change from them. He did, however, order Rocephin IM shots for 3 days. TERRIBLE!!!! So Jack is getting a shot in each leg, for 3 days. They numb the thigh with "freezy spray" and then they actually mix the medication with Lidocaine because it hurts so bad. He was a trooper (as much as to be expected). He didn't want to walk when we came home and then later he told Matt and I that his leg was broken. POOR little guy! If he only knew he had two more days left. AHHHH!!!! I think it probably felt weird and numb more than anything but Tylenol helped too I am sure. So....after these three days and 2 more week we go back and he will culture to see what is growing. So all in all, an okay prognosis/diagnosis/osis osis!!!!
Other than that, no more doctors for a while. He did start his new room at daycare on Monday and he had a great time. It was weird going in there and all the kids are towering over him and he seems soooooo little. He didn't seem that little in his old room. Although, his weight was 27 lbs 4 oz today!!!! YAY! Coffee cake and pancakes for breakfast and sugar cookies for lunch is really paying off!!!!
NOW for pictures!!! ENJOY!

He looks so cute helping build like Bob the builder!! I hope you get some answers about his ears. I didn't realize that you were still having so many problems. Who is the new ENT? Is it in the same group or did you go elsewhere.
