Zoe has had an ear infection since Labor Day weekend. After numerous trips to the pediatrician, I finally took her to Cincinnati Children's. They had to drain out her one ear, which was running with goo in her right ear. The same right ear lost its PE tube Friday morning. The other ear was full of wax and once the doctor dug it out, we discovered that PE tube was just sitting against the ear drum and had fallen out as well.
The culture came back and she has been diagnosed with MRSA. It is not contagious like other strains of MRSA. It is just contained to the ear.

Pretty serious stuff!
We are now on our fifth antibiotic and 4 weeks. I hope this does the trick.
