Noah's ear has been infected for two months. Last week the skin behind his left ear swelled with puss so we took him to the emergency room at Texas Children's Hospital - west campus. After viewing his CAT scan, they transferred him to the main campus at the Medical Center.
Dr. Lin, his new ear doctor, gave him a small incision and cleaned Noah's ear. He had 20cc of puss! He was released yesterday morning and sleeps off and on.
Our ward's been so helpful. My visiting teacher, Alyssa Walker, brought us dinner last night, and the new Elder's Quorum President, Brother Johnson, visited us. He's a pediatrician in the Medical Center.
Throughout this ordeal I've felt the Spirit with us. Jim hurt his back three weeks ago when he moved our old style TV to our bedroom. He had a sedated shot in his upper back that has helped a little. Though life is difficult and often stressful, I'm grateful for the opportunity to draw closer to my Father in Heaven.
