You will NOT believe the weekend I have had.

I got a call at work from the school nurse at 2:00PM on Friday (I was scheduled to work until 6PM). She tells me Jeric is in her office screaming that his ear hurts and from the looks of it her has stuck a rock in his ear!!! She said it looks bad and needs to come out ASAP.

So I call his pediatrician and he said he does not have the tools it will take to get that out so we must take him to the ER.

We spend THREE hours there (needless to say I didn't make it back to work), they dig around in his ear while he screams bloody murder and find out there isn't anything the ER can do because they don't have an ear nose and throat specialist on hand. All they can do is confirm there is a rock in there and it has been there for a while. It is covered in wax and it has become stuck to the side of the ear canal. They give him some drops to numb the pain and give us a prescription that will begin to soften the wax and another for pain to get us through the weekend until Monday. They told us to call a specialist on Monday and make an appointment to get it removed.

I am like, You have got to be kidding me! I can not believe this is really happening!

We get home and I call mom and every other prayer warrior I know.................okay GOD ID SO GOD! Are you ready for this?????

Saturday morning we get up and I ask Jason to give Jeric his meds while I used the bathroom. Jason immediately starts screaming......Dana come here now the rock has come out! He had taken the cotton swab out of Jeric's ear and the rock was right there on the edge of his ear hole. We tell Jeric to turn his head over while I run to get some tweezers. We slowly and carefully pull out the rock!!!!! It was amazing.

I called mom and you know she was doing some holy rolling cart wheels and somersaults in her living room. Even Jason's mom was like, "Praise God"! I just knew I was going to have to take more time off work cuz of my crazy child. Between a rock in his ear, his toe getting stuck in the jet of the spa tub, breaking his teeth on candy, needing 4 crowns and 1 filling for a total of 7 crowns now....I am at my wits end. There is NO way I could have more than one! :-) really!

"Praise God"!

Oh my gosh Dana! I'm so sorry you had such an awful day and night but relieved that God worked this one SO FAST!!! I can just imagine how aweful that musta been! Reminds me some of when Myranda had her ears pierced when she was in elementary school and they got infected! I don't want to go into that but it was gut wrenching all that happened with that!

I didn't get a prayer notice but you were on my mind ALL evening Friday to the point that I started to call you several times but I figured ya'll had something going on and didn't want to bother you! Now I know it was the Holy Spirit putting you on my mind to PRAY!!! I'm so glad Jeric is okay!

You don't have to have another one. I only tease you about it! But, I sure am glad you have the one!
