Now for the prayer request: Maddie is still getting ear infections. This is her 7th one and the drops (prescribed post-op) are not getting rid of it. She is now on oral antibiotics which will total 80 days of antibiotics in the last 6 months. I called a pediatric allergist/immunologist and we are having her tested for both food and environmental allergies on Tuesday. Please pray that we can find a cause for her chronic infections. Something needs to give!! I feel horrible that she is on so many antibiotics and has a yeast rash from it. And she is miserable from the pain and discomfort. It breaks my mommy heart.
And now, for your viewing pleasure, some photos of Maddie Grace:
Her first trip to the zoo:
The two of us on my first official Mother's Day:
Oh my goodness she is SO adorable!!! What a beautiful little girl! Definitely sending prayers that the doctor is able to get down to the reason behind these ear infections, keep us updated!
ReplyDeleteSending thoughts and prayers your way for Maddie. She really does look like you. Hope she is feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteLove the Mother's Day picture of you and Maddie! I hope the doctors can figure out the ear infections/allergies soon so she can get some relief.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty girl - I love her zoo dress!!! I'll say a prayer for her ears to feel better. Liam had a double ear infection recently, and I know how awful it was, so I hate that your sweetie is getting them back to back!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are taking her to get tested for allergies. I hope they can find some reason....and something that will help her. The tubes are a solution but not permanent. I had 4 sets. My son had a tube put into one of his ears and the recovery for a week after was rough. He was peeing on himself every night and he was 5 years old.
ReplyDeleteShe just gets more and more beautiful! And I LOVE those argyle leggings or tights!!! I'd so love to have a photo of myself from when I was that young dressed so cool. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, I looked at the photo of you two and was immediately struck with how alike the two of you look, and I see in the comments I'm not the only one. Thinking of her and hoping they find a solution to her ear troubles.
Oh my... I can't believe how fast she's growing! What a cutie! I will be praying for a solution to her ear problem.
ReplyDeleteWhat a doll! Trying to walk already? Wow! She's a smart cookie. Our son also had chronic ear infections. We eventually had to get ear tubes. I hope you get an answer sooN!
ReplyDeleteOh I could just gobble her up! She gets more beautiful every time I see her pictures!
ReplyDeleteI will be keeping her in my prayers that they can find the source of these horrible infections, and that she may get some relief from them soon!!!
