2:45 Jack wakes up from his nap crying and pulling on his ears. (He's had a cold for a couple days)
3:18 I email American doctor in our city for advice
3:45 Doctor calls me. From symptoms he thinks Jack has ear infection. He tells me what antibiotic to buy and the dosage.
4:00 I load kids in stroller and head to pharmacy.
4:05 Arrive at pharmacy. Buy 10 day supply of medicine for less than 5 dollars-no prescription, no insurance card, no waiting.
4:08 Stop by dairy store to get yoghurt to mix with medicine.
4:15 Get home and give Jack his first dose of medicine!
Some things in this country are really convenient!
For the Grandmas: Jack seems to be doing OK. He's not sleeping as well as normal and he's fussier than normal but he's still managing to follow EG all over the house! Put him down this evening and he only cried for a few minutes. Praying for a good night's sleep for our little man.

That sweet little guy may be following in his dad's footsteps! Andy battled with nasty ear infections with countless sets of tubes in his ears and lots of sleepless nights! I am really pleased to hear how quickly your American doctor responded and that you had such an easy process over there. How is he feeling now?
Awww. bless his heart. Hope the meddies help quickly. How cool that you can just go buy the meds you need.
