Being a Mom is tough!

Last week was a rough one! On Monday I took S to the Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist. She had chronic ear infections and a year and a 1/2 ago we had tubes put in her ear. Well, they fell out..like they are naturally supposed to do; however, the holes where the tubes were did not heal. They are still open in both of ear drums. While, that was alarming news to receive back in June; I have had a couple of months waiting for this appointment to process this information. All I can think about is how in the world do you close holes in an ear drum...the medical answer surgery...my answer PRAYER! The ENT is going to give her 6 months to heal and if not surgery. Also, on Monday it was confirmed that she has slight hearing loss in both ears. It was very difficult as mom to sit in the audiologist room while she was tested. I could her the beeps and she couldn't. At one point I became very emotionally and tried to remind myself hold it together...be strong. Sometimes Mommy's need an outlet, too. Sometimes the burden becomes too big to carry. I am so grateful to know Jesus, and the He wants to carry my burdens. Oh, how uplifting and refreshing that is too know I do not have to do it alone. Needless, to say E getting sick with the little piggy flu was almost too much for me to handle :) Being a mom is tough sometimes...and it is at these moments I wish my mom was here.
