Ear infection = no sleep

Poor little Bentley had his first (and hopefully last) ear infection.  He hadnt been sleeping well the night before ( worse than usual) and had a cold during the week.   It was after Brynlees birthday party and he wouldn't go to sleep.  He just cried and acted like he was in pain.  We couldn't lay him down without him crying more.  Finally around 130 am we decided to take him to the ER.  They were pretty quick and we were out of there by 3 am.  He had an infection in just the right ear.  They gave us a dose of the antibiotic in the ER so that was nice.  Bentley fell asleep in the car on the way home and we just let him sleep in the car seat so that his head would stay elevated.   We finally got to sleep around 4 am.  The worst part is I had been awake since 330 am the previous day and with only 3 hours of sleep.   It was a rough couple of days
