Week SIX of ear infections 

by

Marsh has double ear infections for the sixth week in a row. I am just plain sad  to see him hurting and the not sleeping is affecting all of us here… 

His first year at school with all of the germ exposure, the molars, and probably heart stuff are all contributing. Plus the vicious antibiotic cycle and lack of sleep isn’t helping him. 

Hopefully the nose spray, the change in weather and finally cutting these teeth will help make Marsh well again.  Our fantastic pediatrician was hesitant to describe more antibiotic in fear of really bad germs like c diff.. 
Please pray these molars get through fast and for a quick recovery…as well as for good sleep 

An Easter miracle

That guy ^^ crashed into our big windows first thing this a.m. 

The big wild boys and I scrambled to help.  Tristen dug him a worm.  Isaac gently scooped and wrapped him up.  Seth and I just held our breath hoping hard for the best. 

And then we waited. 
I was fairly certain the bird’s injuries were too great.  His eyes were rolling.  His breathing was rapidly shallow.  He kind of tipped forward onto the top of his head as we tried to help him rest a little more comfortably.  

We left him to tend our morning rituals all the while watching and waiting. 

45 minutes passed. 

And then he sat up. 

He flew to the screen of our sliding doors.  The boys watched from inside. 
And then he flew away ❤
