Kylee

A week ago I had to take Kylee to the Dr because her ears were "burning" and of course she had ear infections in both ears. Well over the past few days I have noticed her talking louder and her needing me to repeat myself. So I am now a little worried and am taking her to the Ear Nose and Throat Dr tomorrow. I don't know how many of you know this but I have had ALOT of problems with my ears including surgery so I am scared that there maybe something more than just the infection wrong. So anyways today I am really having a hard time working all I am thinking about is Kylee and how she is doing in school and if she can hear her teacher ok, so I was going through my emails and found this...

To My Daughter - by an OK. Police Officer

THIS WILL HIT YOU WHERE IT HURTS!

*Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play.
*Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.
*Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.

*Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck and I will buy you one if he comes by.
*Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.
*Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.
*Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.
*Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you.
*Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.

*Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars. *Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favorite TV shows.
*Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.
*I will think about the mothers And fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle it anymore.
*And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask Him for nothing, except one more day.............

And I realized I need to spend more time doing all of the things above. She is such a precious gift from God and I love her so much.
Anyways I will post tomorrow after the Dr on how it goes. I am hoping that there is just junk left over from the infection, but I am going to have him do a hearing test either way just to be on the safe side.

That's too bad, Lacey! I am sure she is fine, but you're a good mom to have it checked out anyway. She's such a sweet heart.
