The Never-Ending Ear Infection

Joseph's been to the doctor about every two weeks for the last three months, trying to get rid of an ear infection. The funny thing is, we took him in, in the first place, because Elena poked him in the other ear with something long and skinny (the end of a glow in the dark bracelet, I believe) and it scraped up the ear canal enough to bleed a little bit. The injured ear turned out fine, and the non-injured one had a massive infection. He never complains about pain, which just goes to show you what a trooper he is, and loves taking all the medicine he's been prescribed. This morning's check-up was good enough that he doesn't have a new prescription, but he still has another check-up in two weeks. This boy's going to bleed us dry with co-pays.
