My two phone calls

Church was good yesterday, no major meltdowns or drama...but Tayla wasn't herself. Her teacher told me she just sat in class, didn't want to play or do much. I figured she was just tired and my thoughts proved correct when she layed down right when we arrived home and fell asleep. 30 minutes later she was up screaming that she had an "owie" ear. Uh oh. Sunday afternoon at 3:30 means my doctor's office is closed. I called the nurse line anyway hoping for some needed advice/comfort, anything to help Tayla feel better. I waited on hold while Tayla was still screaming in more pain than I've ever seen her in.

Then I hung up.

I knew a better number I could call. I called Kirk who was still at the church. I knew he had what Tayla needed more than anything. The priesthood. He came home with another wonderful priesthood holder and they blessed my sweet darling. They blessed her to sleep all night, to be able to communicate her needs and to be whole again.

She slept all night,
She told the doctor which ear hurt this morning at his office.
She had one of the worst ear infections he's ever seen.

She is whole again, on medication and resting. She is happy, and I think I made the right call.
