Pacey-rae had a wee bit of a cough in early January. I wasn't really concerned because it didn't sound that bad and she was still playing and smiling and laughing - there were no behaviour changes at all. Then the cough turned into some congestion, so I decided to take her to the doctor. I should have listened to my sister in law who mentioned that it might be an ear infection. I really should have, but Pacey was not pulling at her ears, nor was she whining or crying. Anyhow the doctor checked her congestion out and concluded she had pneumonia and then wanted to check her ears. Again, I repeated how she wasn't pulling on them and they weren't bothering her. Well, my goodness, I have never felt worse. One look in both ears and the doctor said one word - which is really not the word you want to hear ..."wow." Apparently both of her ears were so badly infected that she was not hearing much of anything. They were "fire engine red and beefy and full of pus". Sigh... worst mother ever.
