What a day! By lunchtime today, decided that we should take the baby to A&E as he had been screaming since about 7am and was grabbing at his ears. Set off with nannie in tow for moral support and company for the (no doubt) few hour wait, whilst my eldest went off to the local soft play centre with daddy.
Despite suddenly becoming the smiliest, chirpiest baby immediately upon arrival at the hospital, it turns out that he has an ear infection and has been given erythromicin (antibiotics), which I was told might or might not work and the infection may just need to run its course...a course which could be 2 weeks. Oh, and "the antibiotics WILL give him diarrhoea," said the nurse, with very strong emphasis on the word 'will'.
Meanwhile, at the 'soft' play centre, my two year-old had come down a slide straight into another toddler and has a beautiful big black eye. It never rains...
