Love good Health

We have had our fair share of bumps in the road as far as health these past 6 weeks.  In the latter part of January, I starting getting dizzy one day.  It lasted for about 2 days before I decided to get my feet zoned.  The very next day, I woke up with sinus congestion and head cold.  After 7 days of the head cold, I woke up one day to be completely dizzy.  I even stumbled into the wall when trying to walk into my bathroom.  I ended up going to my doctor immediately. I didn't have an infection, but the doctor thought it was related to inner ear problems.  I received a priesthood blessing and some Mecclazine for the dizziness.  They both helped and I was back on my feet the next day!

A few days later, Clayton got a runny nose and ended up with Croup that night at 1:30 am.  I got him right into Wee Care in Layton, where they gave him a shot, irrigated his ears a dozen times, said he was the best patient they had ever seen, filled his pockets with suckers and sent us on our way. 

A couple weeks later, Cooper came into our room one night at 3 a.m to tell us that his "man" parts were really painful.  I couldn't figure out what was wrong, but I knew he was hurting.  I put him in a warm bath and after questioning him and "probing" a bit, realized it was his "sac" that was causing him the problems.  He said he had been awake all night and they it hurt to sleep on his side.  I gave him Motrin, tucked him in bed and he finally fell asleep.  The next morning, I let him sleep in and when he woke up, "they" were swollen and red.  We got him right into the doctor.  They did an exam and a urine analysis.  Everything came back fine, but they wanted to make sure that the blood vessels were wrapped around the testes strangling it to death, so they sent us up to another clinic to get an ultrasound.  After lots of probing and many pictures, we found out that he just had an infection.  After one day of antibiotics, he was able to run and play and sleep normal again. He was such a good sport after going through all that crap! I was proud of him and I enjoyed spending the day with him, even though it was for a bad reason.

We have been so blessed with good health.  These are little things compared to what some people go through, so I feel blessed.  I am thankful for modern medicine, for medical advancements, for amazing doctors who are kind and caring, and I am thankful for priesthood blessings that help us feel comfort in times of need!
