The past 2 weeks have been a blur. I've been wishing the days away so that I can get over this poison ivy rash. It is looking A LOT better and the itching is starting to subside but I have a few new patches that popped up today. That is normal for me. I bought a poison ivy wash called Tecnu. Every time I play with Sophie I will wash with this special cleaner and, hopefully, I will be poison ivy free for the rest of the Summer. I choose to look at the blessings in every situation and be thankful. Hey, it could have been worse:

So I went to the ENT dr. yesterday. He ran a few more tests on my ears; hearing, pressure, etc. He says everything looks good. He said he could refer me to an ear specialist but feels that they would have nothing new to offer me. I have "pulsatile tinnitus" which is very rare. It can mean very bad things but he feels that those things would have shown up on my MRI & MRA. I'm going to trust his opinion and move on. In the grand scheme of things....this is no big deal. Just an annoying distraction that won't get me down!
For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Psalm 108.4
