Update

Upate on my ear:
I wish i could say that I'm recovering thanks to my massive bag of antibiotics, but it doesn't appear to be doing the trick. After tow pain-free days I had some pain on Easter. I've had a little bit of pain every day since then and today it increased in intensity and frequency. So back to the doctor. This time I think they may add steroids on the advice of my Stateside ENT. It seems that it's pretty hard to get the bone infection to go away. Please pray that the infection will go away completely, but if not, that I can keep it under control until I get back to the States. If surgery is necessary I'd much rather have it there. Also, I feel like my body is taking a beating with all this medication, and I'm still pretty tired. Thanks so much for your prayers.
