This poor dude had been complaining of an ear ache and neck pain off and on since we returned from Great Wolf Lodge, but since it was intermittent and he never had fever, we didn't think it was an infection. But then today (on Friday, of course - sicknesses almost always happen on Friday afternoons), his teacher called me after lunch to say that he'd come back to the classroom from recess with fluid leaking out of his ear. I asked if he was warm, so she took his temperature, and sure enough - fever. So we hot tailed it over to the doctor for the expected diagnosis of an ear infection and ruptured ear drum. Luckily, once the pressure released, he hasn't had any pain. It's just gross and he feels lethargic from the fever. We had him just sit and watch a production number rehearsal tonight, with plans for lots of snuggles and an early bedtime.
