I always knew he was a smarty...

For a few days now I have been suffering from a cold.  But, c'mon, I"m a teacher, this is not an unnatural occurrence - especially in the winter!  However two nights ago my ear (left one specifically) was killing me to lay down and sleep.  It wasn't better by the time I got home from work, so (and this is the part where having a med. student around is very helpful!  I recommend it!.... or maybe not... never mind... : ) ) I had JJ get out his trusty black bag and check out my ears. 

Right one: fine, fine. 
Left one: hey!  You're right!  You DO have an ear infection!  Cool! 

Then he quickly showed me on his iPod - of COURSE he would have about 10 apps related to medicine.  Look!  This is what your ear looks like!  They'll give you some amoxicilin - it should be fine during pregnancy.

Coool... so off to Walgreens I went (my family practice doc's office had closed about a half hour before this discovery... boo!).  The NP there declared that hubby gets "An A+ on ears!"  I do in fact have an ear infection.  WELL, come on now, otitis media, acute/chronic, NOS.  Bring on the amoxicillin party...
