Double Trouble

Poor Ryan hasn't been himself for the past couple of days. His cry has sounded different and he just hasn't been eating right. Over the weekend we noticed that he was tugging on his ear a lot and the Parenting Red Flag shot up! Duane took Ryan in to the doctor today and, sure enough, Ryan has a double ear infection. The good news is that he's not miserable and we caught it before it got really bad.

So why do I feel guilty about it all? I know that kids get sick - happens all the time - but for some reason this time is especially hard on me. It's probably because a) it's the first time he's been sick and b) I wasn't the one to take him to the doctor help him feel better. I hate mommy guilt!
