We were lucky enough to have two kids with ear aches just a day apart, well..I guess lucky isn't the best word to describe it. It was weird because Emma wasn't even sick. She didn't have a fever or complain that her ear hurt, but she could not hear us. When we would stand behind her and say her name, or clap or yell, she wouldn't even move. It freaked me out, like she was loosing her hearing or something, but sure enough it was a lovely ear infection. The Dr. was supprised that her ear drum didn't burst or something, so one shot, and 2 weeks later she can hear again, now it is just getting her to listen that is the trick!
The next night C.J. was up all night with a fever and complaining that his ear hurt, so the next day we were at the Dr.s office again with an ear infection and a gain one shot later and he was feeling great! What are the chances of this happening when ear infections are not contagious?
