Garrett sick... again!

Poor Garrett has yet another ear infection.  This is the last one he is able to have without getting tubes. If it doesnt go away in a timely manner or if it comes back, we have to go for tubes...  I hate having him on antibiotics, and I really dread the thought of him getting tubes.  I am a very natural thinker (and so is clynt)... Our bodies are designed to handle problems and when allow our body to do that, it makes our bodies stronger.  I dont rush my kids to the doctor at the first sign of a fever or anything.  Just not me.  I try to let things run their course.  However, in this situation, the course is kind of, for a lack of a better word, bumpy. When Garrett gets ear infections, they are severe.  This time he was running 103 fever and vomiting after meals for several days. Its crazy.  He is miserable and I dont want to see him like that.  So, should it happen again, its tubes for the little guy.

The other sad part of Garrett being sick is that I am stuck inside the house with Corbin. Corbin gets bored and starts misbehaving as he struggles to get attention.  Garrett is so clingy that I cant get in just a little time to spend only with Corbin.  So, its hard.  Im praying that as Garrett wakes up today, he is fever free and we can get out of the house.  We all have cabin fever.

Though!  Last night we left the house for Corbin's first 'real' tball game!!  It was the cutest thing ever!!!  We really thought that it was going to be terrible, but it was absolutely one of the cutest things I have ever seen.  Corbin can hit the ball really well for his age and he never swings and misses.  It is so cute!! And then he runs to each of the bases (with a little guidance on which way to go).  Then when he is playing second, he (and the whole team) run after every single ball thats hit in an effort to be the one who gets to throw hit.  As he runs, he has the hugest grin on his face.  OMG, my heart could melt!!  It was absolutely the most enjoyable time that I have had in a long time.  He only has 2 games (the other 6 weeks were learning the basics), so if you want to come and watch next Tuesday, let me know.  You wont be disappointed you came.  SO.  MUCH.. FUN!!

Anyways.  My boys are amazing.  The. end. =)
