Pimple in Ear???

So Ashley has been complaining about her outer ear lobe hurting since yesterday morning. I would give her some tylenol and the pain would go away. 6 hours later, repeat. But today was different. She came into our room at 6 am complaining of pain and ended up falling asleep until 8:30 on Daddy's pillow. But when she woke up there were blood spots on pillow (scary much).

So we went into the doctor to find that she has a minimal case of swimmers ear and she had a pimple right inside her ear that had bursted and bleed out her ear. They couldn't tell if the eardrum was ruptured, because a flap of skin was in the way, but the part of the eardrum they did see looked great. No swimming for this monkey until she gets okayed to do so by the doctor at a follow up check. Fingers crossed it heals properly and fast!

And $175 later (great insurance on meds, huh?) we now have drops to put in her ear 3 times a day.

Poor girl who now feels much better with that pimple popped!
