There's a Vac for that!

Carter developed an earache Saturday and by Sunday morning his ear was bleeding. We took him to the minor medical center and found out he had a perforated eardrum...ouch!! On Monday he had a follow up visit with the pediatric ENT specialist. Dr. Chanin was wonderful and the good news is that Carter's eardrum should fully heal in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, we have antibiotics to administer as well as eardrops 3x daily. In this video, Dr. Chanin is "vacuuming" the gunk out of Carter's ears. What a trooper! He said it did not hurt, and in fact made his eyes "jiggle":
