Update

Well, Adam's ear drum burst around 7:00 this morning, and he felt fine after that! His ear has drained all day, and he has been tired, but he is feeling better! It scares me when this happens, I don't want him to lose any of his hearing. I bet there is a good chance we will have to get tubes again (the one in the infected ear fell out a few months ago.) He and I had a good day together, we were able to get a short nap and I picked up his antibiotics! I am hoping for a speedy recovery!
I just hate seeing him in so much pain and being so helpless!!!!

Katy had a great day! Tonight was her, "Night of the Notables" at school. She was Marie Curry, scientist who dicovered Ranium. I had never heard of her! LOL! Each child dressed up as thier character and came in the room, one by one, and answered questions about thier person, then we, the parents, had to guess who they were! They all did a great job! We were really proud of Miss Katy! She had worked hard on her project!

Dear God,
Thank you for you guidance in our lives. Please continue to be with Adam, help him to get better! Thank you for our family and for the personality you gave each of our children, they are each perfect in thier own way!
Amen!

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!
