Sickness

Dear Owen,
I took you to the Dr. today, because after 5 days of fever and complete lethargy you told us your ear hurt. You have been laying on us and doing noting that is normal for you. We have been living on children's fever reducer and relying on the littlest of joys to get us through-even if that is in the form of an tiny Pepsi can-and letting you take my temperature, playing wii game and watching so much tv all of our brains are rotting...



The Dr. was supposed to help us feel better. Instead it made things worse... you had a really bad ear wax build up so they couldn't see if the ear was infected or not. They proceeded to use a poky tool to try and clean it-but that hurt you-so they got the water plain device out and that was a total disaster. They tried to do it while I held you but you kicked and screamed in pain...then they tried to have another nurse(the kind that you see on old movies who works at the mental hospital and holds the big men down) help but at that point you were so scared your face held nothing but terror and I broke down and joined in the sobbing. I called an end to the trying for today and got some drops that may help drain things and numb the pain...we go back tomorrow.
Owen today was bad-well the past 5 days have been-but tomorrow is a new day and His mercies are new each morning so tonight I pray that things will go easy tomorrow and we will finally get you on the road to healing.
