Steve ~

We can't diagnose this for you but it definitely needs to be seen by a physician, as soon as possible.  Bleeding from the ear is not good no matter what the cause.  It may be AN-related but only a doctor can make that diagnosis.  Call him.

Steve .....

Jim is "spot on."  You need to have your doctor evaluate the cause of this discharge.  And, I too am glad we are back up and running!!

Prayers.  Let us know what you find out.

Steve -

as Jim said, call your doc.

I hope this turns out to be nothing but a minor problem.

Please keep us posted.

Congratulations on the new job!  Sorry about the infection and I trust the antibiotics will clear it up, soon.

Cheerio!
