I don't have any more "trusses" in you

This week has been quite hard on poor Maile. She got diagnosed with her first ear infection since she's had her tubes placed in, and she had to go to a whole new doctor, try all sorts of unflavored medicines, and dealing with the pain I am sure has not been easy at all.

This morning I am sitting down with her after just having tried to wipe her boogies and clean the wax melting out of her, and she's completely bothered by it and screaming that I should leave her alone.

After a few seconds of that, I picked her up and I tried to tell her that she needed to trust mommy, that all I wanted was to make her feel better...

Her reply: " I don't have any more "trusses" ( trusts?) in you...I trust daddy, and Audrey has to trust you."

I have to say, although I didn't take it personal it kinda of broke my heart. I knew that all she was trying to tell me was that I had been causing her pain and she just wanted it to stop.

I pray that this second round of stronger antibiotics does the trick, and that poor Audrey stays healthy.

Times like this, I miss my sweetheart more than I could ever express.
