Never doubt the intuition...

There are somethings I don't think I will ever understand.

How does that frequent flyer know that today of all days he should miss his flight, and that is the day the plane crashes?

How does the nurse know that the patient is just about ready to code (have a heart attack) and the patient is in ICU alive because she convinced the doctor and the patient was in the ICU when the patient coded?

How does the mom know that something is wrong and needs to go to the Doctor, and sure enough her daughter has an early ear infection?

Never doubt those "gut feelings" as they always seem to pay off. Sure enough yesterday I just knew that Delilah's ear irritation had progressed to a full infection and to hopefully prevent having to use the stronger antibiotics on her again, I wanted to catch it early and sure enough, I took her in and she was in the early stages of the ear infection. So we are trying the high dose Amoxicillin which is actually the lower end of antibiotics and we shall see if this clears. I am unsure if I should pray that it clears or pray that it doesn't respond because if it doesn't clear we are headed straight for tubes. If it does clear we still need to decide do we still just wait this out and see what happens or do we say enough is enough and just go for the surgery and get tubes. It can not be good for a child to be on antibiotics as much as she has. The thought also that we are starting to enter into the key speech development stage makes me nervous and I want to make sure she can clearly hear the needed sounds.

So remember trust your instincts becuase they always seem to pay off.
