Sorry to have been away all week (although those signing up for the Catholic Mothers Online blog roll know that I have still be busy sending out codes and emails to those people throughout this week)!
Thanks for all the positive thoughts and prayers throughout this week. It definitely took a few days before I was feeling better, but I’m now not having ear pain and only just a bit of neck pain. I’m still working my way through the steriods and antibiotics, but I’m getting close to be done with the steriods. (I have today on a two pill dose, and then tomorrow on the last dose — 1 pill. All of the four days prior to this one have been four pills a day.) Oh — and my big accomplishment was yesterday when I was able to hold the phone with my neck and have my hands free. Wow!
And, another update that I had been meaning to make is that on the same day that I posted about my five year old’s hallucinations and sleeplessness from a medication, the doctor called that evening and spoke with me. We talked about a variety of other medication options, but most involved having to swallow a pill, and that just doesn’t seem like it will work for Jack right now. So, we finally decided that maybe it was just best to wait and try again with medication at a later date if we so desired. This was made especially easier as we have decided to have Jack repeat kindergarten next school year. (He’s so bright, but he is behind in motor skills — fine motor skills in particular — as well as that he could use another year to grow and mature.) So, deciding that has taken some pressure off of us on his behalf.
On the up side of the whole medication thing though, it was nice that it is the same prescription that Noah takes, so then he is just able to take those ones we picked up for Jack, instead of those just going to waste.
