Here we go again...

So it seems that the only time I blog is when something negative happens. I swear that I am not doing this for sympathy, but it sure helps get out the frustrated feelings I have built up inside. So guess who is sick again??? Yep that's right folks, Madison!! I give up! I try so hard to make sure that I avoid people when they are sick, and even when we haven't been around other people, she still picks up something. I honestly wonder if I should just hibernate during the winter with her. So Tuesday night she woke up in the middle of the night crying that her right ear hurt. My first thought was great an ear infection. We gave her Motrin and put her back to bed. The next day(Wednesday) she was doing okay. Not great, but tolerable. That night I was at the church with my family and looked over at Madison to see that she had blood and puss running out her ear and dripping down her hair. So naturally I freak out. Have you ever seen blood come out a kids ear. Not a good thing at all for a mom to see in a child that is acting somewhat normal. So up to the insta-care we go...again. When we get there she is fevering and now has puss and blood coming out both ears. The doctor tells us that her tubes may have been acting as a dam for the infection, and so much pressure had built up that it pushed through and was draining infection. The concern was that she could have possibly had an eardrum burst. There was so much infection that the doctor couldn't see her eardrum, so we got a round of antibiotics and ear drops to try to calm the infection so we can get her back in to check the ear drum later. I guess now I know why I don't have any more kids. I can't keep the one I've got in shape and healthy. So patience is becoming a common topic around our house. We are learning it in leaps and bounds.

P.S. Linds. Forrest it was so good to see you in our office. You were the talk of the afternoon. Marisa couldn't get over how friendly you are. She said you must be a great friend. I agreed and told her she should meet the rest of my friends, because they are all like that! I am so lucky to have you guys around for support!! Thanks :)
