Don't like it when she's this sick

The last week has been a tough one.  Lily came home last week complaining of ear pain.  Usually, I am not one to run to the doctor but she had her final mandatory swim meet that weekend and I wanted to make sure everything was okay.  They diagnosed her with swimmer's ear and basically told her to stay out of the water after her swim meet.  After her swim meet her pain increased significantly.  It was so hard to see her in so much discomfort and not be able to do anything about it.  We have since gone back to doctors twice.  She is now on an oral antibiotic and I am hoping that takes care of it.  But man, I hate it when they are this sick:(
