Ear Infection

Today Jymani had an appointment with his Pediatrician for ear pain and just to have a good look over him, since doing the referral to Milwaukee.  Come to find out his left ear was so infected that the Tympanic Membrane ruptured and the fluid/infection was just sitting in his ear.  This is the 2nd time this has happened with his ears, its like he doesn't express the pain during the infection until after the membrane ruptures.  Poor Buddy, I am thinking this may be the reason he has been so off the last few weeks.  I'm sure it doesn't explain it all, since clearly the Adderall has never really been a complete fix on his behaviors, but I think it for sure plays a part.  let's just hope the antibiotic for his ear and the Risperidone will help and we will soon start to see positive changes in his behavior.  (Hopefully, when he sees his Psych doctor on May 7th, we will get the Risperidone prescribed and started!)
