Ear Infections

Stevie Joy has been really sick and not acting like herself lately so I decided to take her into the doctor. We took her in because she has been throwing up a lot and has had really bad diarrhea, but when we got there they ended up telling us that she also has a double ear infection. This makes her 6th time this year! They gave her a shot (she screamed!) and she now has some antibiotics to take daily. We have to go back in two weeks to check things out. If things keep going like this the doctor recommends that she has tubes put in her ears. I am not too sure what all this entails so I don't really know how to feel about this. Surgery is scary, but chronic ear infections are dangerous too. I know the doctors know best so I just pray for divine wisdom and trust in Him that everything will be okay. One a positive note: Neela can now roll over kinda consistently. She hates when she does it though during her sleep b/c she does NOT like being on her back. It is sad, but kinda funny b/c her cry is so pathetic and I go in there and she just has this adorable, confused look on her face :) Am I a mean mommy to think this is funny? haha

We may be getting a baby pig, but the girl hasn't gotten back with me yet. We are trying to "stock" the farm up. We have cows, goats, chickens, and dogs (oh yeah and one cat). A pig would kinda complete the farm don't you think? Here is a picture of them:

  1. i've heard that baby pigs are the new "it" pet! no joke! looks like you're right on trend haha! My mom has actually been having some problems with her ear and the dr told her it may be from bad ear infections as a baby! crazy how that can lead to problems later in life, good thing you're on top of that :) And Yay for Neela rolling!!!
