Please Pray For My Ears

Last night my right ear drum ruptured again. That is the second time in less then four weeks. I didn't complain that it hurt until Daddy picked me up from Ms. Leah's house. Dad took me to see Mom in the ER (she was working there) and one of the nice Doctors there looked in my ear and said it was very red and sent Dad and I home with a prescription for antibiotics. Well I took one dose and then while I was sleeping it ruptured. It feels much better!
Mom is going to call my ENT after Thanksgiving. The tube is out of my right ear drum but still in the canal. My left tube is still in place. Pray that is heals quickly and that the Doctor is wise about whether I need another tube put in. Also, when my ear drum first ruptured Mom took me to a doctor that I hadn't seen before. He said he had reviewed my chart and that based on many various symptoms that I have had through the years - He thought I should try a Dairy Free diet for a while and see if I feel better. So Mom is researching dairy free milk, yogurt and cheese since these are a large chunk of my diet. Please pray that I will like and willingly eat the new foods that she buys me and that if it is going to make a difference that it will be very obvious quickly. Owen is going to do Dairy Free with me. Thanks for your prayers!

Hi Caleb,

We will pray for your ears. I hope that going dairy free helped. My mom had ear problems when she was in early elementary school, and going dairy free helped.

I miss you!

Love,
Jonathan

We will pray for your ears! Mom says we'll also pray for your mommy and daddy b/c that's has to be hard to go through on them too!
Tell your mom that my daddy's siblings always had ear infections. When Baby #4 came along the doctor suggested taking away dairy and it helped!
