Poor little guy!!! That is awful! Glad he is getting better. Where did you get the tree with the saying? I love it.

Oh Christal! Your poor baby!! He looks SO uncomfortable in that photo. I can't imagine. I had to google it, cause I hadn't ever heard of that before. Ouch.

I am grateful that you were able to make the trip and be back home again.......but I will continue to keep you all in my prayers. And like I told Dean....I certainly won't be complaining anymore about an ear infection or respiratory infection that won't go away. Thanks for the reminders to always be thankful. Even through all the rough times.
