Looks like tubes in our future

We have had quite the stomach bug going around our house last week and the week before! Now that we are finally over with that and have lysoled our house to death, I think we can move on and finally settle back into our "normal" routine. I took Noah to the doctor on Monday...again. He still wasn't eating the greatest and still was vomiting occasionally so I wanted to see what was actually wrong with him. Come to find out, he had another double ear infection. One of his ears was really bad and the eardrum was actually buldging a bit. :( Poor baby. I feel so bad for him. That makes the third ear infection for him since Christmas. He had only been off the antibiotic a little over a week when he got the current one. It did actually go away too cause she checked him about a week into his antibiotic. He took omnicef this time which he only took for 5 days and he goes back next Monday to have his ears re-checked. I asked the doctor how many more we have to go through since each one is getting progressively worse, and we can't be off the antibiotic for more than a week before it's back. She said that since we already have a followup with the ENT scheduled for his reflux on March 1st that she wants me to have him look at his ears and tell him how many he has had and then he will fax paper work to her to fill out and then the date will be set for the tube surgery. I just want to get it done and over with. He never runs a fever and this time I really didn't expect him to have another one! (nor did I expect him to have one at his 15 month well baby visit) The last two he has gotten green goopy eyes, along with being fussy but no fever at all with any of the three last ones! So...I guess the next time he gets green goopy eyes and pulls at his ears and cries about literally EVERYTHING I should make an appointment...kids...ears can be such a headache when they are little and can't talk!!!
