Ear infection official

Quinn and I went to the doctor Friday and he has an ear infection. She said he should not be really hurting because we caught it very soon. But when she went in his ear to look, he screamed bloody murder. Tony and I have been on the look out for any allergies to this new antibiotic. Last week he was on Amoxacilon now he's on something stronger. Can't remember the name... We saw one side effect. His poop turned Reddish. Tony and I panicked we called the doctor and started locking up the symptoms on the Internet, which scared the shit out of us even more. The websites were saying a sign of reddish stool could mean that the upper area of his colon was bleeding. After the three day hospital visit and all the issues with his colon months ago, I lost it. At some point I had the brilliant idea to look at the paperwork the medication came with. And there it was, with a light from heaven shining on it. "This Medication may turn stool a reddish color, THIS IS HARMLESS" Oh thank God! I'm a bit of a nervous Nellie ever since that hospital visit. I can't help but think, had I seen the signs sooner and gotten him a stool test we may have been able to avoid all that starving and testing done at the hospital and just known right away that he had an allergy, I feel really guilty about that. But At the same time he did have blockage and a stool test would not fix that. Well now I watch him like a hawk one sign of trouble and the doctor gets woken up!
