Joan's Life

There are few things more painful in life than watching your own child suffer. James has had a cough/runny nose for weeks now, which can only mean an ear infection is looming. He is prone to them--like his daddy. And tonight, despite my valiant efforts to fight off the inevitable with vitamin C, he woke up tonight, an hour after we put him to bed, in tears. James is a pretty tough kid and a heavy sleeper. He doesn't just wake up for nothing. I did what any Mother would do: cried, held his little boy hand, and told him I love him. And, for the pain I prescribed a 1 1/2 tsp. of IB Profin and told him to say a special prayer. I stood by his door and cried some more as I listened in on his perfect prayer. My heart swelled with gratitude at the sound of each faith filled word. He desperately plead to Heavenly Father to make his ear feel better and to help us find a doctor.
Brandon went to Walgreens and talked with the pharmacist there who told him of a pediatric urgent care that is opened through the night...
It's late. I'm a total mess and a complete boob. I need to get some rest...and wait for my boy and his daddy.
