crucible

Willa willa WILLA willa WILLA.
(deep breaths)
Willa.
How do I even begin this?

******
And that’s as far as I got on a post yesterday morning regarding our most recent Willa tribulations. It made me too glum to continue, and as it turns out, that’s just as well.

Willa has been a nightmare lately. It was getting the point where Brett & I were starting to feel, simply, defeated.

Then when I got home from work yesterday, I picked her up and noticed that she had thick bloody pus draining from her ear. HALLELUJAH. And after three treatments with antibiotic ear drops, she’s like a regular demented two-year-old again. As opposed to the two-year-old on a prolonged methamphetamine-induced-rage. She was laughing and dancing and smacking her brothers this morning, and I could have just squeezed the cantanker right out of her. (Though that’s not actually possible. I tried it already.)
So! As you were. Freak out, little monster.

WHEW.

Before we discovered Henry had strep, I was AT MY WIT'S END with him. He was intolerable. INTOLERABLE! And then after some antibiotic, he was back to normal levels of just NEARLY impossible.

Aw, she is supremely cute though. Saves her life, I bet. :)

Thank goodness the tubes opened up and allowed the drainage. That must have been so painful.

Ow. It hurts just to read that. If only she's use her "my ears hurt" words instead of AGGGGGHHHHH. The later is so often misread as, well...just about everything else. Repeat over & over...My God give me the grace to love my child thru the 2's...
