Ear Infection or just attention?

Ava spent Saturday night at Nana's house....oh...how I was looking forward to my peaceful morning...drinking coffee and watching a news show without interruptions or having to take turns with a three year old. I should've known when Eliza woke at 5:30am not wanting to sleep again it wasn't going to go as planned. Get out of bed and have my cup of coffee (so far so good), check my email and bbrrring...bbrrring....it's Nana on the phone saying Ava is crying complaining her ear hurts. She has been fighting a cold for a while now so not too surprising. I call the nurse and she says to give her Motrin and call the doc in the morning. Give her Motrin....and get her in the car to go home (a 5 min ride), halfway home, miraculously her ear feels better! She is better all day until about 6:30pm and I am on the phone with my sister and her ear hurts again....hmmm....this is a little tricky. Do I give her Motrin (not really something I want to give a child for the heck of it) just in case? I quizzed her on what ear it is ....she picks the right one everytime! So...I give it to her. Motrin must work fast bc once again within 15 mins. it's better! Which I think I am thankful for...just not sure if I am doing the right thing. Good thing for the doc's appointment today! I need some advice.
I hope I can make it to StrollerFit and Restore The Core tomorrow between sick children and another snowstorm, it's questionable. How many days 'til Spring??
