She is alittle over 9 months old now and is walking everywhere! She is doing pretty good at walking concidering she has another ear infection.

She was at the ER on Saturday. She had blood coming out of her left ear, it was alot of it. She was already on medicine for a severe right ear infection and the doctor took one look at her left and said it was bad. Her left ear ruptured and has a severe infection in it! He took a look into her right ear and it was healed up.

This makes the 4th ear infection since last month!! She had tubes put in her ears in May and now this. I called her ENT doctor today, so she goes and sees him this Friday. I don't know what else they will do. Her regular pediatric looked at Cassidy ears last Wednesday and said her right ear was bad and her left ear just had fluid in it still. Then a few days later her left ear ruptures, this is getting ridiculous with all her ear infections. I just wish I could make her all better!!

And from being on so many antibiotics, she has a yeast infection on her bottom and thrush in her mouth. And this morning I noticed I am feeling a bit sore on my breast and am red also....

She is so precious! I'm so sorry about all the infections. :( Has the doctor cultured it so that he/she knows what it really is?

Thanks Judy!

Last week they cultured her right ear, it was having so much puss coming out of it. Came back as bacterial (sp), so they switched her antibiotics. But I don't understand if she was on the medicine for the right ear infection, how in the world did she get a severe ear infection in her left ear so bad that it ruptured?

Before getting her ear tubes, she was having ear infections and couldn't hear. And during those infections, she never once had any drainage from her ears. Ever since she got the tubes placed, every ear infection she gets has alot of drainage coming out of them. Hopefully the doctor can tell me why when we go in on Friday morning.

The antibiotics might not be the best for that particular type of bacteria.

And yeah with tubes there is a hole in the ear drum for the puss to leak out. Without them, the ear drum has to burst for there to be any leakage. I wonder if the left ear tube was blocked, and that's why there was still fluid behind it and it was able to burst instead of drain?

She's adorable! And I hope they're able to figure out what is happening with her ears.

I don't now if there was a blockage or not. It sure scared me to death seeing blood pour out of her ear though!

I just want her to start feeling better. I'm hoping she isn't going to have any more hearing loss from all the infections lately.

What scared me more was the ER doctor's reation when he first saw it. He said, "wow, that's bad".

I have bad aniexty and panic attacks, and his reaction didn't help me any...
