Evie has an ear infection in both ears. Again.
In case you're wondering, she's had an new ear infection every six weeks for the last year.
Yes, she qualifies for tubes.
No, she's not old enough to get them.
You would think she would be used to the doctor and the little flashlight, but no, she acted like they were killing her. She screamed and squirmed through the examination as if they were stabbing her in the head with sharp knives; all they did was shine a small light in her ears.
The tears really flowed when the nurse had the audacity to walk back into the room; in her hand she held a small syringe of pink cherry-flavored medicine. This was all it took for the screaming to hit a new decibel.
I took the syringe and squirted the goop in her mouth during one of her screams, it only took about two seconds for the screaming to stop, as she started smacking her lips together--she remembered she likes cherry-flavored medicine and she opened up again to drink up the rest. All was well until the nurse reached out to take the empty syringe from me.
More screaming, and glaring, just for good measure.
My girl, she's got a flair for the dramatic. I blame my mother.

So...she's the culprit! We probably could have connected over a cup of tea at the doctor or had a late night phone convo...we are headed in today...fever...two days...103...it's not looking pretty. ---Sage and her mommy
Skylend is the same way he HATES! the dr. after months and months of having ear infections and having his ears cleaned he just can't stand the dr. office. We just walk into a room and he starts freakin' out.
