Sickness?

What sickness?



Our sweet baby girl, although being recently diagnosed with RSV and a double ear infection is such a trooper. Thankfully this little one loves the bathtub, because we have spent our fair share of time in a steamy bathroom helping her breath a little easier. But, who wouldn't love an aromatherapy soak, in a sauna, followed by a chamomile and calendula lotion massage? Unfortunately there is no magic cure for this, and we just do what we can to make her comfortable and wait the next couple of weeks for a (hopefully) full recovery. Thankfully, we can treat the ear infection and she is sure to be feeling better with at least one thing off her plate. Matt rigged her bed up on a 45 degree angle, and she slept pretty well last night. It is the mornings that are rough as she works so hard to loosen up all the phlegm that has settled through the night. We are so thankful for good doctors, good medicine, and a happy baby as we trudge through this mess. Owen said the other day "Mama, what if God healed us immediately when we asked Him?" Oh, wouldn't that be wonderful! "We are thankful that he heals us at all," I told him and "we will keep asking him every day to continue to do so."
