Pleasant but in Pain

Yesterday I spent half of the morning in the doctor's office with our sweet EE. The previous night she stayed up crying. This was the first time she has done this since she has been born. (I know, it sounds impossible at 5 months old to never have been up crying at night. We are very blessed!) After about an hour of the crying I gave her some Tylenol because it seemed like she was in pain. This made the rest of the night bearable. We went to the doctor's office as soon as walk-ins were accepted the next morning. In short, one ear is horribly infected, the other ear is on its way (fluid and inflammation), her allergies are going berserk, and her "wheezy" asthma symptoms are visiting again. Now, with all of that said, you would guess that we have had a few trying days around our house...but this baby is such a blessing in that she is so pleasant, even when she is in much pain. Our doctor has told us to never try to judge whether or not she feels good by her demeanor because she is just always pleasant. (Which was also followed by the comment..."God always sends us what we need." Thank-you Jesus!) Anyway, we have a very sick girl, but most people would never guess it. I've tried to tell her that the next time she gets sick, she should try crying a little bit before it gets so bad. Maybe she will take my advice.
