Last night Apollo woke up at 22h screaming and there was nothing we did that soothed him. I thought it was night terrors as he’s had a few. But this time it was different; he cried nonstop for over half an hour.
Jonas, in his infinite wisdom, decided to take him for a drive hoping the car movement and white noise would do the trick. However, another half hour later and poor Apollo was still inconsolable. So, like any other first-time, responsible parent (rofl) Jonas took him to the ER. After being discharged, looking for a 24h pharmacy, waiting for prescription to be filled, it was past 2h when they came home.
Apollo has a mild, outer ear infection and is now on antibiotics (for the first time). He woke up as his happy little old self. I can’t complain. We’ve made it to 14 months without an ear infection.
