Just when we begin to think #4 is back to normal-ish\u2026she comes downstairs and says \u201cMom, did you know that one of my ears is bigger than the other?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people have one bigger ear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBigger like this?\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Here\u2019s the other for comparison<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

See how the other one has folds and ridges and the first one doesn\u2019t? She usually has a matched set.<\/p>\n

My first thought was \u201cbug bite\u201d but I can\u2019t find one.\u00a0 (Okay, that\u2019s a lie. My first thought was \u201cOh crap!\u00a0 What\u2019s wrong with her now?\u201d then I calmed down and thought \u201cbug bite\u201d)<\/p>\n

Our whole JRA adventure started with a nasty swollen ear and bad infection.\u00a0 (Malignant Otitis Externa.\u00a0 We think.\u00a0 There\u2019s no way to be 100% that this is what started it all.\u00a0 That\u2019s my \u201cI\u2019m not a doctor\u201d disclaimer.)<\/p>\n

Crap.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s wrong now?\u00a0 He brother has been running a fever for days.\u00a0 Is this a viral infection looking for a place to happen?\u00a0 Is there a bug bite I missed?\u00a0 Can a kid get arthritis in her ear? Is Batman going to be able to save Gotham from the Riddler?<\/p>\n

Stay tuned.\u00a0 Same Bat time, same Bat channel.<\/p>\n

*****Update: it was bug bites.\u00a0 Chiggers.\u00a0 It turns out that with her wonky immune system, she just reacts more ferociously to everything\u2026..including bugs.<\/p>\n

I hate being Paranoia Mom.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
