Not Again!!!

We had broken a record, not having visited the doctor in over a month. That record ended last week when Tuesday we were at the ENT for surgery follow up and then we were back at the pediatrician's office on Thursday. Micah received a good report from the ENT, so what happened over the next 48 hours??? I decided that it was time for a visit to the doctor when he started to get an eye infection which was his forth over the last several months. We came home from the doctor with SIX prescriptions. Micah has been battling with allergies for about 6 weeks now and the doctor believes that the allergies are what is causing his eyes to become infected. For that, we got Nasonex and a small expensive bottle of eye drops. Both of those the doctor gave to us, so for that we were grateful. Next we received an antibiotic (NOT AGAIN) for his ears which were not infected, but inflamed. They have been bothering him for quite a while, so I'm sure that's why. I really hate that he is still in such pain with his ears after getting tubes. Micah also has severe constipation. The antibiotics act as a stimulant for that, so after being on those for about 4 months, his body became dependent upon them. He is now on a stool softener and fiber supplement. Well, the last ailment is Exzema. Exzema is spread all over his back and stomach. We were given a cream for that and it is working wonderfully. We are going to have to be careful with him when we have him outside. That is when the Exzema tends to flare up. Poor little guy! He is a real trooper about taking his medicine though.

On a more positive note...Micah is doing much better today. The eye infection is gone, the Exzema is fading, the Nazonex seems to be helping with the allergies and he is not having as hard of a time going to the bathroom. The only think that seems to still be bothering him is his ears. I just hope that we don't start this all over again.
