Our poor little guy!

JD recently had a very bad ear infection, and he was feeling pretty miserable from it. We first noticed that something was going on when his hearing began to deteriorate to the point that he couldn't hear dinner conversation around the table -- sitting just inches away from us! After a few days of noticing problems with his hearing, he began to run fever and was complaining of pain in his ear. I took him to the pediatrician who told me that he had red bulging ear drums in both ears! Her response was, "It's no wonder he can't hear anything!" After a full round of antibiotics, I am happy to report that he is completely well and his hearing has returned 100%. It was hard to see him feeling so bad for those couple of days though. :(
