Re: crud and now ear infections

[Guest guest]

Oh Veri, I'm so sorry to hear that is having these raging ear infections.

Those are never fun (my second and third kiddos have a tendency to have EI's

without complaining of pain - my oldest gets the quick onset severe pain...).

Given that she has the extraction coming up soon, has your ped or your rheum

said anything about seeing an ENT? My very uneducated wondering is if she's

having the EI's because of the swelling in the eustachian tubes from the

disease. Maybe an ENT would have had some experience in helping kids with JRA

over come this? Just a thought.

My hopes and prayers for a quick recovery for her.

Hugs.

just about tired of it!!!! Last week she came in and said her ear was bothering

Mom I can not hear at all out of my ear and it hurts worse. So last night, sure

enough the ped said the ear infection was really bad, I mean really bad. Now

Jaye generally does not complain about ear infections, not sure why but

they can be really angry red without her knowing they are infected. Well this

one is bad cause it hurts. So last night she took percocet cause that is all I

have for pain here and today, tomorrow and Wednesday we are going to take her in

to get an injection of antibiotic to try to kick this. The ped thought three

days in a row should kick it. Last night when we had the ped check it we were at

church, only one of the major bonus of going to church with the ped. She has

only seven more days of school this year and then is out for the summer. She is

getting her wisdom teeth extracted on May 25th. SHE MUST BE HEALTHY FOR

THAT!!!!!

So sorry she is still sick! I second the idea of seeing an ENT...it can't hurt

to get another opinion.

I know we have had the crud here for weeks (except ..thank you God). My

daughter (non-JIA child) has been sick for 3 weeks now and is still

coughing/sniffling after 8 days on antibiotics...and 4 weeks of zyrtec. My hubby

has had bronchitis for 6 weeks...2 rounds of antibiotics. Me, I'm going into

week three...cough, crud, fluid in my ears...and my allergies are raging...I'm

on day 4 of antibiotics for a sinus infection.

I am blaming allergies...last night on the news they said this is the worst

allergy ever and I agree...and I've suffered since I can remember and this is

the worst.

I hope she starts feeling better very soon!

It took me 2 shots of Rocephin a week a part to finally get over double ear

infections, during when I had mono.

Poor sweet Jaye, she came in this morning brave as can be and received

two more shots of rocephin and will come back tomorrow morning to get two more.

Those needles and HUGE and today she said she thought she might pass out after

the first injection. So there was a pause before they gave the second one. When

the nurse asked her if she was ok, she said " Yep, I'm a tough cookie " . I told

her she is a better one then me. I also have an ear infection that wont quit

and am on my second round of antibiotics but I am not allergic to all that she

is and so I have more options. Then she was out the door to head to school,

only six more days of classes for her this year and then she can take a break.

She is ready for summer vacation and good weather. Me too!!!

Hi Veri, Oh, so sorry that Jaye is dealing with this in the last days of

school! She certainly is a tough cookie - and it's cool that she told them

that! I hope the infection resolves very quickly and that she will enjoy her

last few days of school 'til summer. nn
