I'm at home from church today with my sweet girl, Brenna. She seemed very tired yesterday, but I thought it was because we've had a long weekend of preteen Dicscipe Now. She took a nap yesterday, which is totally not like her, and then woke me up at 6:24 this morning saying she couldn't sleep. She climbed into my bed never saying a word about not feeling well. I got up to get ready for church, and as I was just about ready, I heard John call my name. After picking Brenna up and carrying her downstairs, he noticed she was rather warm. Sure enough, she was running fever. So, I'm afraid that her congestion that she's had for a few weeks now, has turned into an ear infection. She'll be the third one of our children who has had one since the first of the year.
Bethany started out with congestion a few weeks ago. After one night of almost no sleep and a terrible earache, I took her to the dr. to find that she had a yucky ear infection. Then last week, after developing congestion, Brandon had a night with a terrible earache. It was Super Bowl Sunday night. I ended up taking him to the ER because his ear was hurting so badly. They didn't do much for him there and recommended that we see our pediatrician the next day. His ear was so bad that his ear drum burst. He and Bethany are much better now, Thank the Lord!
Brenna has also had some other things happen to her since her birthday. I posted earlier about Brenna's birthday and how she and a few of her friends went to an inflatable place to play. While there, Brenna climbed to the top of one of the slides, bounced at the top before sliding down, and then hung her top front tooth on the safety net at the top of the slide, pulling it loose and cutting her gum. I took her to the dentist the next week, after the tooth began turning dark, to find that the root was dead and the blood supply to that tooth had been cut off. So, she goes back on the 24th for her annual check-up, and on that day, the dentist will pull her front tooth. I'm sure there will be pictures to follow that visit!
Other than that, things are going pretty well. I'm thanking God for his healing when we are sick. Also, for His provisions for dr.'s, medicine, etc. Thanks for reading our blog! No pictures to share this time, but I'm sure we'll have some soon!

The best thing for Ear infection is the eardoc. it is non invasive and it treats the problem rather than the symptoms. check it out.
Never a dull moment with 4 kiddos, is there? I'm sorry things have been rough lately, but thankful the Lord has provided good care for your babies.
