I'm calling this the middle because the end better involve Morgan feeling better. I rarely if ever have to take Morgan to the doctor. I honestly can't even remember the last time she was there for something other than a well visit. Unfortunately we had to make a trip today and I knew it last night. I apparently passed on some dominant trait/gene where any kind of illness attacks the eyes. For instance I had mono pretty bad as a teenager and it took a long time for anyone to figure out what I had. Why, you ask? Well, instead of getting an incredibly sore throat like regular people (mine didn't hurt at all) my eyes almost swelled shut. Nice, huh? Somehow Morgan has picked up the same thing. Last time she had her one and only ear infection (like 2 years ago) her eyes had horrible drainage and got super puffy and red. Last night I noticed the drainage from her nose had turned green. Warning sign #1. Warning sign #2 happened when her eyes started to get all goopy. I was fairly certain she had an ear infection because the day before last she was complaining that her ear hurt.
Morgan was not a happy camper about going to the doctor. She wouldn't get weighed, she wouldn't let the doctor look at her throat or mouth. Another clue I knew she did not feel good because she is usually a little chatter box wanting to do everything. As soon as the doctor looked in her ears she told me they were infected. Both of them and pretty bad. So we got an RX for amoxicillin (trying to give it to her is a whole other story..) and headed on our way. We head back to check up on her ears in 2 weeks since there was a lot of fluid built up. She's so sad to look at right now. My poor little baby. :(
