Family update

Hey guys. Thank you for all of your phone calls, texts and prayers! The Lord has used you to speak peace and encouragement into our lives these last few days, and we're so grateful for you. I thought I would give you the latest update on our crazy week: Ben's blood work came back yesterday and it showed to have bacteria in his blood, something fairly common with pneumonia. They are now able to attack it with a specific antibiotic but he will not be released until Saturday. He's still on his IV and oxygen but can now eat solid food, so he's liking that of course. Addi's ear infection has cleared up on one side but she broke out from head to toe in red bumps last night, which about sent me over the edge. I mean, seriously?! After a doctor's appointment this morning, we've learned that she's allergic to the amoxicillin that we had been using to treat her ear infection. Although she looks horrible, she's not in any pain or discomfort, thank goodness. We've switched medications & the allergic reaction and rash should take care of itself over the next few days. As for me, I went to an ear specialist yesterday to learn more about my own ear infection. The antibiotics should clear it up by next week & hearing in my left ear will return soon after that. I still can't believe I'm having to write all of this. It's sounds ridiculous! I can't wait until this weekend, to have the two loves of my life happy & healthy. Then maybe I can return to blogging about the silly things that Addi has gotten herself into. Maybe even add some cute pictures!
