Joy and pain

Our last regular season game was today. We were playing the best team in the league and honestly just didn't want to get skunked. Our team has won the last two games and we just wanted to hold our own today. To everyone's surprise we not only held our own - we won! I don't know who was more in shock - their coach or ours! It was a sweet victory.

Throughout the game however Tyler didn't seem himself. In the fifth inning he asked for a drink. I had put a Gatorade in his bag before the game but he had not seen it. He had gone almost the entire game without anything to drink in 85 degree weather. Everyone noticed he was sluggish and we all just chopped it up to simple dehydration. If only it were that easy. Tonight he informed me that he could hear a pumping sound in his ear. It started during his game and it got louder and louder as the game progressed which is why he looked so pathetic. So tomorrow morning we will head to the doctor and I am sure we will hear the same words we always do - He has an ear infection. The joys of non draining ears.
