Swimmer's Ear for Everyone!

We had a great time at Hank's parents house this past weekend. It's one of the few times that we have actually traveled out of town for the 4th... well in a long time, anyway. We spent a lot of time around the pool (I know, big surprise, right?), grilling out, playing games, and just chilling with Hank's sister Jackie and her family.

The first full day there, Hank developed a severe case of Swimmer's Ear. Thank God we had brought antibiotic ear drops with us, along with allergy meds for the kids, and numbing ear drops (you just never know with my kids and their allergies... and Soph's breathing issue history makes me want to be over prepared instead of under). So we started treating him with the drops. By Saturday night, Tres's ear was hurting and by Sunday, Bryant joined them. So we have done several days of antibiotic drops and pain relievers and now everyone seems to be getting back to normal. Thank God we dealt with this last year and I knew what to do!

Last night, around 1 am (thank you very much Jackie! You are lucky I was awake!) Jackie called to ask me some questions about swimmer's ear. Apparently her whole house has it too! But what can we expect... we were in that pool all weekend. We had to make the kids get out at night!

I got some pics to post, so I will make it a point to get downstairs and download them tonight!
