Sick Buddies

Well Bridger wasn't sick but was having sympathy headaches and fevers for his Brother so he could be like Gideon.

So poor Gideon started getting sick on Wednesday and had a fever and ear ache on Thursday.   He was up all night long with pain and all I could do was comfort not much else.  Friday morning his ear drum burst and his ear was full of blood and other fluid.  Gideon was relieved of his pain and I thought was on the mend, (that is after doing much research to know if he was going to be alright)

  Well by the time friday night came around his fever was back and his ear hurt.  We did a family outing to a castle and got him fresh air on a nice day but he was so tired that he wanted held all the time.

  So Sunday morning I took him into the hospital here in Wittlich.... well I actually went to Bitburg first but they don't do pediatrics so I had to drive to Wittlich to see a doctor.  Poor little guy slept in my lap most of the time and was whimpering the rest while we waited in the waiting room (one of my Haiku poems is about).  He got a blood test to make sure of everything and found out his body has a yucky virus and his ears have a bacterial infection so we got the anibiotics and got him home.  So we were gone doing that from 8am till 1pm.  It was a long day.

  We came back and watched conference and he was still hurting.  We gave him his meds and he slept all night long.  Today he is more himself but is having a really hard time hearing with all the gunk still in his ears....( or at least I hope that is what it is)  We have to speak loud to him or he wont hear us.  So that has been what we've been up to but we are grateful he is on the mend and free of pain now.
