Kim, I hope you get to feeling better soon. When I was a kid, I used to get such terrible earaches. I never had one to bleed though, not that I can remember.

When my son was little, he would get bad earaches. His ear bled like that, scared me to death. I thought something bad had happened to him! We rushed him to the doctor and found out he had a really bad ear infection. They later took his adenoids(sp?) out. That was so long ago, my son is now 31 and going to be 32 in March.

I hope you get to feeling better soon.
