The ear and sinus drama

Our little 15 month old daughter has had multiple ear and sinus infections since the beginning of august.  Every single cold, and I am not exaggerating here, that she has had since august (she didn't have any colds before then) has turned into either a sinus infection, an ear infection or both.  She has been on all the antibiotics you can give a baby...probably not such a good thing due to the fact of antibiotic resistance if that rings true.  Hopefully soon we will be getting down to the bottom of this problem she has been having.  We have been referred to an ENT and I am guessing they will take a look at her records and look her over at the time of our appointment.  Having no background on this what-so-ever except for knowing they deal with ear, nose and throat problems and do surgery when needed, I do not know what to expect.  I hope we have a very kind doctor who will talk to us about everything going on, I am at a loss for questions.  I will be doing a lot of research from here till the time of her appointment.  I am praying that we can get this resolved soon and quickly so that she will not have any speech delays or pronunciation problems in the very near future.

Here is a picture of our sweet, loving girl.  I love how girls give kisses and hugs so generously!

Aww poor Ella:-( I'll be praying for you guys! I'm sure it'll be a relief to have a doctor who specializes in this area look her over.

Keep us updated on how it goes!
