We’re looking forward to our appointment with the ENT on Tuesday this week, because Cam’s ear infection is still lingering, we suspect, despite antibiotics et al. He was very unsettled on Thursday evening and seemed to be in pain (digging his little fingers into his ears…) so we took him to the LCM hospital emergency room. The doc on duty said that there was a lot of fluid build-up behind the right eardrum, but that his ears weren’t particularly red, so she wasn’t too concerned. Please do pray that the specialist will have particular insight and wisdom regarding a way forward (i.e. grommets or not). We have been very encouraged by the experience of others, and by a lot of the literature out there, that there is no reason why middle ear infections should cause permanent hearing damage.
It’s great to be back at school after such a restful holiday. I don’t say often enough how grateful we are to live on this campus, and to be blessed by the energy, optimism, care and fun that these College boys pour into my life, and amazingly, into Cam’s life. Teenagers are typically such selfish creatures, and it means so much when a Form 4 boy sits down next to me and asks ‘How’s Cam?’ I proceed to explain that he’s doing really well, etc. And then the seventeen-year-old says, ‘And Ma’am, how are you?’
I was also blessed this week by a phone call from Canada – from a lady I have never met, but who reads this blog and prays for us. Taryn, I was blown away by your kindness and encouragement. Thank you!
Believe it or not, Cam’s school, Heavenly Babies, is putting on a concert in October and his class is doing a dance…!? If you mention ‘dance’ or ‘concert’ he starts stamping excitedly and every now and then does a little gum-boot-dance type of kick in the air..! Too cute! :)
The photos are of rough-and-tumble with Dad after work (Cam is the blur), Cam playing with his new favourite discovery (a mouse), lunch at Nanna, me singing ‘I’m a little teapot…’ (Cam finds it hilarious), Cam not enjoying the cold ice-cream, a weekend afternoon snooze, and banging Dad’s laptop…
