Ear Infection

I took Brody to the pediatrician today because his right ear has been smelling kind of funky (not that I make it a habit to sniff my child's ears!) and twice I got a big hard ball of wax out of it. I didn't think it would really be an infection, he has tubes and hasn't had a problem since he got them last December! Well, there is an infection and the tubes were doing their job, I guess they are there to make sure the icky stuff drains out. So I get to put 5 drops in his ear 2X a day for a week. So fun. I hope this is the reason he hasn't been sleeping so well. At least I know I can give him some tylenol before bedtime! :)
