And the sicknesses continue...

Wednesday morning we were all rudely awakened by a guy that decided he needed to clear the sidewalks at 5:30 in the morning on his very loud four wheeler. I was soooo mad. Does he not realize that there are a lot of little kids in these buildings? Who in their right mind comes that early on a 4 wheeler and revs it up back and fourth at 5:30? Anyways, I was hoping he did not wake Mathias up. Sure enough, Mathias wakes up screaming at 6:30. He usually sleeps till 7:30 or 8. Then, for the rest of the morning, we could not get him to calm down. I thought it was because he was rudely awakened and was still tired. So Dev dropped him off at Annette's (Dev's mom) like usual and we thought nothing more of it. Well, Annette called around noon and said Mathias is acting pretty sick and had not left her lap all morning, nor could she get him to eat or drink anything. Great, I thought we were over the stomach bug. Then Annette also said that Mathias was tugging at his right ear. Mathias is one of those poor kids that if there is anything out there to catch he will catch it no matter what. But fortunately we have never had an ear infection. So I took off work a little early to take him to the doctor and sure enough he has a "moderate" ear infection in his right ear and a "very small one" in his left. As if the cold he got a couple of weekends ago and the stomach bug he caught last Friday were not enough. The doctor gave us some antibiotics to give him twice a day. Did I mention that Mathias is not good at taking medicine? So we usually pin him down and put the syringe in the back of his mouth so it will go down better, however this syringe is twice the size of the Motrin ones we have. So yeah, needless to say this has been fun.
