...for Grady.
This past month, he's had his first overnight trip to the ER visit for a spiking temperature, a run-in with a tree (see previous post) and is now on his second round of antibiotics for double ear infections and some nasty eye goop problem.
The eye goop issue is the most disgusting thing we've encountered so far as parents. I won't go into details on how gross and wrong it is to see. But I will say that for two mornings this week, his eyes were literally glued shut from the goop. In case you're wondering, two year-old boys do not like to have their eyes glued shut. Thankfully, a nice hot shower and some super vigorous scrubbing opened them back up. But now his face is all bruised up from the srubbing.
Dylan says that Grady looks like one of those street kids that you meet on a missions trip that are oozing from their orifices but are oh so exited to be alive and want to play with you and hug you and haven't a concern in the world about spreading disease. I think that pretty much sums it up.....
(note: this pic was taken after 3 doses of antibiotic so he looks MUCH better than he did...)ps. we're scheduled to take family pics with the gonsalves' tomorrow. is it wrong to put cover-up on little boys?

Love it! Love those little kids with stuff oozing from the orfices here too.... in fact I am pretty sure I got ring worm a month ago from one of them at the orphanage, but its all gone. I first tried the vigorous scrubbing and it didn't work.
If you put coverup on your little boy I will give you a quarter when I see you next time. It would be awesome. Poor little Grady, that will be THE picture for the next 30 years where we all tell him he had makeup on, right!?
Love you and your musings, Juliekins!
