Double (maybe triple) Trouble

Mason has been teething. Those darn two-year molars are determined to make all of our lives miserable, but have yet to actually show themselves. It is because of these two-year molars that I became a horrible mother and ignored my son last weekend when he pointed at his cheek and said "ouch, mama" and was much fussier/needy than normal. It didn't take long, though, by Tuesday I made Todd take him to the doctor "just to be sure". We now have our first ear infection. Actually, BOTH of Mason's ears were infected.

He was started on Amoxicillin and seemed to be doing OK......until Friday. On Friday I got a call from daycare that he threw up, so I went and picked him up. We aren't sure if it's the antibiotic or a stomach bug on top of the ear infection, or maybe it's his darn molars again...but this weekend was full of puking (and cleaning up after the puking). It's actually the most pathetic sight when Mason throws up. He just gives you this look like "Why aren't you doing something?".

Here's hoping the puking has stopped, the ears are UN-infected and those freaking molars break through the gum already!
