The day our friends left us I found some unhappiness in Courtney's ear. It was most unpleasant. A trip to the doctor's that day (of coarse it was Friday...) showed that yes indeed Court had an ear infection. There looked also to be a hole in her ear and no sign of the tube. Monday we would be able to know the test results. Things looked a little more suspicious than normal.
Saturday we went to the stake "fair". It was fun for the kids. Food, games and lines for balloon animals, cotton candy, and snow cones in an unpleasant heat of high 90's plus. We headed out after accomplishing said activities and were invited to the pool. We accepted and are thankful we did. Court couldn't go under water but was still able to cool off.
Sunday we had some friends over because we hadn't seen them for awhile. (Summer's do get that way) and because we are headed out ourselves soon.
Monday arrived and with it more 100 degree weather. Not much happened which was good but we did get the call from the doctor. Court's lab showed that staff had started growing in her ear. After telling the doctor we would be out of town she suggested that we try to see Court's ear doctor for his evaluation.Tuesday brought Court's appointment. We can still take her swimming (yeah) but she needs ear plugs. Start giving her different ear drops and have her lay on her side for a half an hour to let them really sink in twice a day and some antibiotics just in case. The hole is okay but we need to watch it.
Kevin had some time so he started tiling the bathroom counters.
Courtney was outside in the late afternoon on her bike and fell off. Her wrist hurt her. Frozen blueberry's soothed it but what gave me the first real thought to it being broken is that she cuddled up next to me on the couch and fell asleep in the afternoon. Not your usual Courtney behavior. I checked her wrist while she was sleeping and got a negative response.Wednesday I took Courtney to the doctor and yes, there is a small buckle brake.
So for the next 4 weeks Court has a buddy.

Bummer about the arm. I'm glad we've been able to hang out the last little while and will miss you guys while your away.
I am sorry about Courtney's arm and ears. I know about the ear problem though. My sophmore year of high school I had holes in both my ear drums and had to do the drop thing in both ears. Mine healed up, not with some scar tissue, but I can still hear. Good luck the next 4 weeks with the cast.
When are you guys heading to Utah?
Oh man--you guys are really into the arm breaking thing! That stinks for summer. Good luck with the ears--keep us informed--that's scary!
