Emma's not so much ear infection

Emma was "out of sorts" yesterday. My mom & Dad took the girls for a while and they even noticed it! She woke up at around 12:00 last night crying and grabbing her ear. Took her temperature and it was within normal range, so I gave her some motrin (for her ear pain) and sent her back to bed. She woke up a few more times each time frantically grabbing her ear and crying uncontrollably. Jody was going skiing with our church and had to leave the house at 3:00am, Emma was already awake and stayed awake!!! Finally 8:30am arrived and I called her peciatrician and off we went. We got to the doctors office and Emma explained her problems (she's a big girl now), they did the standard weight check, listen to lungs, pulse, blood pressure, etc. Then the doctor took a look at her ears and said there is a lot of fluid but they weren't infected? I was surprised, but said OK. She did however say she had bronchitis and was wheezing quite a bit?! I was totally surprised, how had I missed that? Emma did have a bad cold a few weeks ago, then she got better. I remember a week or so ago she got another cold, but this time it was just a nasty cough. I had been giving her cough suppressant medicine and totally missed it! They gave her a breathing treatment right away, listened to her lungs and she was much better. They gave us a prescription for a Z-pack plus medicine to continue breathing treatments for the next few days! I'm hoping she will bounce back to her normal self soon! Talk about feeling like a great mom! Did I mention Jody is in West Virginia Snow Boarding. . .
