Thankful for antibiotics…

This will probably kick off some healthcare debate, but it’s not meant to.

The other day, Gianni had a 103.5 degree (Fahrenheit) temperature and was diagnosed with an ear infection.

Within an hour, the doctor had called it in, we picked it up and she was medicated.

By the afternoon, she was already better.

I came home and chatted with our nanny who is originally from Ethiopia.

I compared our life here to people living in, say, rural Ethiopia.

Their kids get ear infections as well, but they could be miles OR days from a pharmacy (and no guarantee that the medication would even be there.)

Just made me really appreciate where we are and what we have.
