Rough times

I wish I could tell you things have been good here, but we've had a rough couple of weeks. My first ever ear infection turned into a month-long one. I went back to see Dr. Nechyba a couple of weeks ago and he gave me another antibiotic that seemed like it was working. About a week after I stopped taking my medicine, my ear started hurting again and I was fussy, especially at night. Mommy took me back to the doctor and I got to see the very nice Physician's Assistant, Jennifer. She told me my ear still looked bad and put me on a very strong medicine. I had to go back on Monday to make sure the medicine was working and it wasn't, so I had to have SHOTS. I was brave and I tried not to cry, but they hurt so much. I had to have one every day for three days. The good news is my ear infection is much better now and I'm feeling like my old self.

Last Tuesday I also took a little tumble. I didn't know I could fit through the banister upstairs and I fell about four feet to the step below. I skinned my head and it scared me alot, but thank goodness I didn't get hurt. Mommy and Daddy called Dr. Nechyba and he told them to wake me up after I'd been asleep for a couple hours. Now I've always liked that Dr. Nechyba, but that made me mad. I finally fell back asleep about an hour later. The next morning I was going to get my shot anyway, so I got to see Jennifer again at the doctor's office. She checked me out and said I was okay.

Also my Mamaw Beulah has been very sick in the hospital. She started feeling a little better, but she's not doing good at all right now. Mommy, Daddy and I love her so much and we just want to be with her right now. Please say prayers for her and for my family.

We are headed to Asheville tomorrow for Thanksgiving. We will be coming back on Friday so we can get ready for my birthday party on Sunday. Mommy and Daddy can't believe I'm already a year old!
