After reading several of the articles that were posted on our Pinterest page about ear infections, I thought that I should reach out to our readers about them. Especially, since I have recently gotten over a bilateral ear infection myself. If you haven’t had an ear infection (or don’t remember your last one), then count yourself blessed. I think that we can often forget how bad the pain can be until we are in the midst of it. I wouldn’t wish that pain upon my worst enemy. I had a lot of them when I was younger, but as I have gotten older and my eustachian tube has gotten a little bit longer I have them less frequently.

I wanted to encourage all of our families out there (and those of you who are not) to check out the article that we pinned to our boards located at http://www.Pinterest.com/BDSHelps. Children cannot always tell us when they are sick and it is important to recognize the signs of sickness and know when we need to contact a specialist. This is a subject that is very dear to me because I almost lost my hearing as a child. So, please take a few moments to look over these articles.
