Lexi Lynn and the never ending ear infections!

So the doctor finally saw us, an hour and a half later! And surprise surprise, Lexi has yet another ear infection! I do not know what to do with her, I am at my wits end with her ears. This is Lexi's sixth ear infection in the last 12 months. It never fails, she gets over one, and another one pops up! I know that of all of the ailments that my daughter could have, this is pretty minor, but is is still upsetting and frustrating! The doctor has referred me to a ear nose and throat specialist. They are talking about putting tubes in her ears. I really hope that it does not come to this, but I guess we will see! Right about now if it makes her feel better I am up for anything. She feels miserable, she is coughing and her nose is running, and she just acts sad. It breaks my heart!
