After mom's snorkeling adventure she was sure to have Ken pour peroxide in her ears. She has been feeling for some time that something was not quiet right, especially with the right ear, for some time. They were under the assumption that it was seasonal but mom knew when the peroxide just kept popping in her ear, it was time to get this looked at. Dr. B did send mom to a ENT for a visit and gave her an antibiotic prior to the trip as a precaution. They determined there was an infection later, thought there could be a hole in the eardrum and scheduled her for a follow up today.

Today was a new experience of a different kind for Mom. What was supposed to be a simple follow up office visit turned into a little more. The doctor did an incision in her eardrum and drained the fluid and build-up from her Eustachian tube. The doctor told Mom she was a "real trooper" because that was a painful procedure. We're very happy that is over and hopefully Mom will heal quickly and the problem is fixed.


One of Mom's greatest adventures is shopping the second-hand stores for Haidyn. Haidyn has had some kind of a outfit, bib, "costume" or something for every holiday. Notice the new picture attached of our "Star Spangled Baby", and it was reported that a good time was had by all for the photo shoot.

Thank you all so much for your continued prayers. Erica and baby are doing wonderful and are the topic of conversation about every day. Tonight we took a vote between Ken, Mom, Todd and me on the sex which we will not find out for a few more weeks. Todd and GiGi have decided to go pink. Grandaddy and I are going blue. I know mom will be thrilled either way but if its not a boy part of her will be disappointed since she has already bought about EVERYTHING THERE IS for a girl- LOL! I wish Erica would give us a picture but she hasn't even skyped with me lately so I can't report any seen evidence and she sounds awesome almost everytime I talk to her.

God is so good. Haidyn is growing and thrilling mom with her excited brown eyes and wide smile with sweet squeals everytime she sees her now. Erica's pregnancy is keeping us all anxious about the arrival date. Mom's hair is growing back in quiet well. Vacation for mom and Ken was restful and relaxing and life has found a new normal. Without your prayers none of this would have been possible. You all remain in our prayers daily as we thank God for prayer warriors who continue to lift mom us as she battles Cancer and maximizes every day and every moment. I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday. Haidyn is sure ready with her holiday "costumes"- haha
