Perforated his ear drum while we were cliff jumping. The pain was intense, he cried like crazy.. but it was such a delayed cry.. finally cried himself to sleep while I went in search of an urgent care.. couldn’t find one, so we ended up having to drive to the closest hospital, an hour away. Both ears are now infected as well.Oh no! What happened?
He says they don’t hurt anymore, but unfortunately he can’t swim for at least two weeks until we see his regular doctor and find out if the perforation healed.
We’re going to leave in the morning, we’ll come back when he can enjoy all of it.

Yikes.. hopefully he will get strong medicine, getting an infection is not fun.
Specially if its dirty water that might contain that awful brain eating amoeba D:

Technically, rock jumping.
That’s why I made him hold his nose! I held mine too. I’m scared of the crazy amoeba.lol
Ibuprofen as needed, but not in prescription form. Only the ear drops and we wait and hop for the perforation to heal, it should without having to see an ear nose and throat doctor.

You might ask why I'm up at 2am. I mowed my parents back grass in the afternoon and my nose has been blocked and I've been sneezing ever since.
Update: while I went to bed, I never went back to sleep: so I'm on 3 hours of sleep plus what will be 2 cups of coffee this morning,

Sorry to hear that. I just assumed you were still awake and celebrating Great Britain's soccer game win!

Oh my gosh. How did he perforate his ear drum? (Seemed like all he did was jump off a rock into the water, and he had done that a few times up to that point, with no ill effects, right?) Poor kid--that sounded awful. What a lousey way to end a vacation early. I hope he's a bit better today.

We had some mammoth thunderstorms around 1 AM, and they lasted a long time. Even hours after that, I couldn't get back to sleep. The dog was awake during the storms, but he's been snoozing for hours now. 
Meanwhile, I have to go to work in a few hours.

I wish we had those. We just had dinky few rumbles of thunder (typed thumber originally and laughed my head off) and that was it.

P.S.: I think you might have shared those scenery pictures for me (you tagged a different Minnie, but I'm sure they'll also be appreciated by the other member as well
). Anyway, those were some nice vistas, and it looked like a perfect day for get in some great views!

Yes, first sign of lack of sleep is when you laugh hysterically at something stupid.

Wow, poor kid. Hope it heals fast and properly. Ear infections and ear pain are tough. That cliff/rock jump looks scary to me! Brave!
