This photo portrays a happy moment from a girl who, although normally quite content, hasn't had much to smile about lately. Isabella has an ear infection that 3 back-to-back rounds of antibiotics can't get rid of and, frankly, she's had enough.
She was stoic enough in the beginning. In fact, I was not even aware that she had an ear infection when she was first diagnosed with it in late November during a well baby visit. In the last few days, however, she has been fussy, off-and-on feverish, and hard pressed to sleep for more than an hour at a time during the night. She tugs at her ear and screams if anyone touches it. Poor girl.
We saw the doctor again today and he has prescribed a 4th round of antibiotics to try to kill this thing. If these do not work she will have to see a specialist who will more than likely put her through some terribly unpleasant things in an effort to cure her.
So, please send up some prayers for my sweet girl...and her sleep deprived mother!

Sweet girl--sending prayers already.
Suz--
We are praying for her, and for all of you! Poor baby. On another note, you are so funny! The car wash entry was so funny, and a little too true! And the link was hysterical. I miss you. Hope to see you this summer.
We are sending lots of prayers and compassion. You might try a little warm olive oil in the ear. It helped sooth Vadims ucky ear. Poor little girl. Lots of love and good Kindergarten, first grade, fourth grade and fifth grade St. Rita prayers coming your way. LL Kate
