Thoughtless Thursday (HA!)

M is working on her story before she is off to bed! I think she finally has her school routine down. This is the first night she has actually worked on her writing, the past three she has been busy reading books to reach her 25 book goal. "They won't be afraid of bad news; their hearts are steady because they trust the Lord" Psalms 112:7

Well B has been coughing and complaining about "being sick" and "not feeling well" for several days. More than usual for her, and her cough was getting worse... so off to the doctor we went. B has had so many ear infections, it is hard to remember when they start and stop, which ear, which is worse, etc. Last March we thought we had "fixed" the problem with the removal of her adenoids and tubes in both ears. We were told that these tubes would last "at least a year" if not longer... well let's just say no more than 5 months and one tube is gone, and the other is "hanging on". Both ears have fluid, one is blocked, and another RX for antibodies. Now we wait - 10-14 days to see what happens and then back off to the ENT for another consultation. Not sure what we are going to do. We are looking into some diet options to see if that helps, but it just becomes extremely frustrating when we thought we had fixed this problem. B is a trooper though, she never complains about her ears, just seems a little more teary and clingy.

So, I think of this verse..

"People make plans in their minds, but only the Lord can make them come true" Proverbs 16:1

and

"Think about what I am saying because the Lord will give you the ability to understand everything" 2 Timothy 2:7
So while we wait these 10-14 days we are not going to worry about what is to come, rather focus on getting B well and rested. We will wait to see what the doctors say rather than worry about what they might say. We will stay positive and not WORRY!

On a lighter note, M loves her new dance studio- the teachers are great and she is really getting a lot of great instruction. This is the first time she has had three teachers with three different styles. It is fun to watch her practice at home and "repeat" the sounds of her teachers!

School has started back for me, so it's off to finish papers-.. only three classes after this semester and that BIG nasty dissertation!
