High on Water
I want to cry when I remember this, too. We had some friends visit us from Ohio a few years ago. Their toddler was getting "yet another ear infection"...
Well, the dad of those two are "like us here at CZ" and the mom - not so much.
Tim allowed me to put a fews drops of CS into his son's ear while he held him sideways.
Within minutes Luke stopped crying.
Two hours later Luke started crying again. When I came around with the bottle in my hand he pulled my hand closer to his little ear. I put in about 4 drops again...again, he stopped crying fairly soon - and on it went.
When they went home, the mom didn't buy any CS...and her own mom convinced her to get tubes surgically put into the kid's ears anyway.
OK, see what you did? I'm crying again.
