Well it started out about 11:45 p.m. Wednesday night. I was up watching t.v. in my bedroom and Lucas came in there saying that his ear hurt really bad. I had some ear drops from the last ear related problem in December so I gave those to him along with some tylenol. 1:30 a.m. still up and in a lot of pain so I gave him some motrin and some different drops that I had that were all natural and they say they numb the pain (wish I would have found those first) he finally fell back asleep around 2:45 or 3:00 a.m. He was so tired but said that he was to awake. Can you be to awake in the middle of the night? So he woke up on his own Thursday morning and wanted to go to school he said his ear did not hurt that bad and he was not running a fever so I thought o.k. maybe it was just an earache. Then I get a call from the school nurse at 10:00 and he had his head on the desk crying so I picked him up. We wait a little bit and he starts having clear drainage around 2:30 p.m. so I call the doctor's office and they say that I am doing everything I can and give them a call if the color changes. Thursday night the color changed to red so this morning I call and we go in. Ruptured eardrum second one in three months. No ear infection though very strange the doctor says. We have to go back in two weeks and then we will more than likely be referred to an ENT specialist.
