Update

If you remember Jackson didn't gain much from 6 months to 9 months and the doctor wanted him to come back in six weeks to make sure he is gaining weigh. Well, Friday was our appointment and Jackson now weighs 19lbs. and 9oz. Jackson gained just shy of 2 lbs in six weeks. The doctor was very pleased with his weight gain. That's all for the good news. For the bad news...Jackson has double ear infection----AGAIN---- . We didn't even know. He was acting like himself. We couldn't do oral antibiotics again as Jackson just finished antibiotics a week and half ago. The other option was antibiotics via shot. This antibiotic is known to clear up 99% of ear infections. Its a three series shot and how it works is, you receive the first shot, then return to the doctors 24 hours later to see if the infection clears up, if not you receive the second shot, then you return 24 hours later to see if the infection clears up, if not you receive the third shot, then you return to the doctors to see if the infection has cleared up. The doctor said you can only receive this antibiotics once. Well, we decided to try this to get it he infection cleared up. Jackson received the first shot Friday afternoon, we opted to wait until today to see the doctor as she was the on-call doctor. We wanted her to see Jackson since she knew exactly how bad the infection looked behind his ear drum. Today we went in and it's better but not perfect, so Jackson received the second shot. We go back tomorrow to see if it's cleared up. I pray to God that the infection is cleared up as I can not handle seeing Jackson get shots. Since this is Jackson 5th and 6th ear infection we are going to go and see an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor to see if Jackson needs tubes inserted into his ears. I made the appointment for March 16th. If I was a gabbling woman I would bet Jackson is recommended to get tubes. I believe that is all that is going on.
