Luke's 11 month birthday

So today Luke turned 11 months. He hung out with daddy while I worked. He has had a little cough the last few days but no snotty nose. This afternoon he started to grab his ear a little but the last time I took him to the doctors for it he said it was just teething, and since we know his top 2 teeth are starting to poke through I didn't think anything of it. We went out to dinner with a friend and wouldn't eat. Then about a half hour into the dinner he started to melt down. He starting crying so I picked him up and he just didn't look good and was very whiny. Definitely not normal Luke so we decided to take him to urgent care. Our doctors office had told us the last time he was sick that the urgent care was open until 10 so it was a about 15 minutes to 8 when we headed over there. We were kind of second guessing ourselves as to whether we really should when Luke started crying a lot. He normally never cries in the car and he just sounded miserable so we knew we were making the right decision. So we pulled up at 8:00 on the dot when Jason looked up and saw the sign that said open 8am to 8pm. I grabbed Luke as fast as I could and ran into the building. Luckily we got in just in time because the doors locked right after that. Well turns out Luke has a double ear infection. Poor little man. Jason is starting to worry that Luke will need to have tubes put in his ears like he did as a child. So far this is his second ear infection. Hopefully its his last and no further action needs to be taken. I guess we will see.
