Sorry for not posting in a while but I've got a good excuse. ;)

      I've been sick since last Monday with the flu. I'm over it now (Praise God!) Last Friday my right ear started hurting a little bit, but I thought it was just sinus pressure. Well, I layed down to take a nap and by the time I woke up, my ear was hurting pretty badly. I took some Ibuprofen in hopes that it would clear up. My mom put some warm oil in my ear to help ease the pain. After a couple of minutes, my ear started draining a pink fluid and the pain decreased a little bit.  At first we thought it was the oil coming out but after a while it was just too much 'oil' to be what mom put in. We did some research on the computer and dad called the doctor and we finally diognosed it as a ruptured ear drum. Yikes! Well, the docter said to keep taking Ibuprofen and lay down on my right side so the fluids would drain out. She said that if the pain got any worse or if I started draining blood out of that ear to go to the emergency room or to come to the office. Everything was fine until Sunday morning when I woke up and I saw that my other ear was draining blood! That was very scary. So, we went to the docter and she gave me some antibiotics and said that it should clear up. I can't hear very well out of both ears but hopefully after a while, I'll gain my hearing back. The draining has slowed down a whole lot and I don't have near as much pain as I did last weekend! Praise God!!!! :)

       Sunday-Wednesday we had a Missions Conference at our church. We had Bro. Mike Renfrow to preach. I wish that I was feeling better through those services! I was able to sing in the choir and play the organ on Wednesday. (I didn't feel like playing/singing the other nights). Now if I could just get my hearing back!!! ;) :D Haha, people at church were joking with me saying stuff like, 'Can you hear me? Do I need to speak LOUDER'. Veeery funny. LOL

      Something else happened that was very exciting!! It SNOWED in South Carolina! Yes! It snowed about 7-8 inches! (That's a LOT!!) That was on the 12th. My camera is broke so I didn't get to take any pictures :'( Oh well!

        Praise God for healing me and hopefully I'll be able to post more often now! I'll also try to get back to your comments soon. I wasn't ignoring you, I promise! ;)

       BTW, I didn't spell check this so ignore anything that's spelled wrong, please. ;)
