Adam's Ears

It is 11:40, Monday night, February 27, 2012. Adam has just fallen asleep...finally, after crying for an hour because he has yet another ear infection! He has had tubes in his ears twice now, and has recently lost one of the tubes! I hate it when he feels this way! There is not one thing I can do to provide any kind of instant comfort. All I can do is give him some ibuprofen and wait until I can get a Rx filled tomorrow. I read on the Internet that you can infuse olive oil with garlic and put it in the ear and rub it around the ear to to take away the pain. I am going to give it a try!

Right now, I am going to enjoy listening to his faint little snore as he sleeps on the "little couch" opposite my "big couch." I can't believe he will be 5 in March! Wow, where did the time go and how did he become so big, so quickly! I pick him up fully expecting his little body to mold int mine and fit perfectly in my arms, however, I have had to face the reality that even though he will never be too big for me to hold, he definitely doesn't mold or fit very well anymore! He is half as big as me! So sad!!!

I must say though, that Adam is an incredible little boy! Smart, funny, cute, handsome, sweet, witty, affecionate, loving, sneaky, creative.... He is all the things I could ever wish for in a little boy! He is incredible and we are so incredibly blessed that he is ours!

Dear God,
Thank you for this sweet little boy, and please touch his little ears and restore him to his cheerful little self ASAP!
Amen!
