Psalm 121:7 “The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life.”
Over the past year, my 3 year old son has been seeing an eye doctor because his right eye hasn't been moving correctly. After a few visits, the doctor decided to send him for an MRI to see if any growths/tumors could be preventing the nerve from working properly.
His MRI was this past Tuesday (Jan 29, 2013). Today we received a phone call from the pediatrician and Kyle has an infection called Mastoiditis. It is an infection in the air pockets in the skull behind his ear.
PRAISE THE LORD that Kyle had the MRI!!!!!!
Otherwise, we would not have detected the Mastoiditis. Kyle has had ear discharge for the last year also, but his pediatrician said it was no big deal and instructed me to keep washing it with soap and water. Kyle has not had a fever or any signs of pain. If undetected, Mastoiditis can have some very serious health risks. I will allow you to research it more if you are interested. I won't go into all those details now.
We received a phone call from the eye doctor today too, but we were unable to reach him. We will know more tomorrow. We are still unsure if this has anything to do with his eye movement and we are unsure if there are any other results from the MRI.
Tomorrow Kyle has an appointment with his pediatrician and we will begin treatments for the Mastoiditis. I do not know what all that will entail. It could be as simple as draining the infection and taking antibiotics or it could mean surgery and tubes in his ears.
All I know is that the Lord is watching over my little Kyle. God loves me and he loves my family.
