Shelby has had some drainage coming from her ear for a few days. The same thing happened to Jamie's little boy, Caleb, but they told her that it would go away on its own. So we decided to just wait.
However, things changed when it turned bloody. We rushed her to the Urgent Care near Russ's new Middle School and got a very different diagnosis.
She has a very infected outer ear (not our typical inner ear infection that we are accustomed to with our kids) that is actually more painful than the inner ear infections. He was surprised that she has such a high pain tolerance, since tugging on the ear hurts so much more with this type of infection. She was given both oral medication and ear drops, because of the severity. She has not complained once.
I guess this shouldn't surprise me. This is the girl that allowed a tooth to be extracted without pain medication. Mostly because we didn't know that it was
NOT ready! She

YES, she has a high pain tolerance!!!!!
Cutie!
