Like I have said before Brighton has been sick. It's been no fun I hate more than anything seeing my child sick. I put Brighton to bed and he seemed fine. I went to bed around 11pm. I was woken up to Brighton Screaming up stairs. Whenever Brighton cries in the night Daniel has always been the one to jump up and get him. He runs up there and tries to comfort him. Nothing. He brings Brighton down into our bed in hopes of calming him down. Nothing. He repeats "I want my mommy". I'm holding my little Bright trying to sooth him. When he then screams "my ear hurts". over and over and over. I knew right then he had an ear ache. This is something we have Never dealt with and really I didn't know what to do. I just sang him songs trying to calm him down. Nothing.
So heart breaking hearing him in so much pain I say a little prayer in my heart. After 30 min of hearing Brighton cry in pain I tell Daniel you need to give Brighton a blessing
Daniel gives Brighton a blessing
He tell's him that he will be comforted and make it through the night in less pain until he can see the Dr and get medicine. He tells him that he will sleep well through the night. He tells him that Jesus loves him and Loves the children and doesn't want him to be in pain. He says some other things but that is what I remembered most. Daniel then says Amen.
Instantly Brighton Stops crying. Looks up and Daniel and says "I feel better Daddy I feel better" Brighton never cried again about the pain. He fell right to sleep and didn't wake up again until the next morning. When he woke up he told me his ear hurt and asked me if he was going to go to the Dr.
It was truly a Miracle!
Blessings work. God loves and cares about all of us. And he Loves the children!
I know this is something small and simple but big to me. Sometimes it's the small things that matter most and make the biggest impact.
When I took him to the Dr. She said it was a bad ear infection. I told her that he woke up crying in the night. She said "oh yes I can see why"
Yet after his blessing I didn't hear him complain again.
Went from screaming non stop tortures pain to nothing.
I'm so thankful for the Church. I'm thankful for a husband who has the authority and lives a good life and is able to give our children and me priesthood blessings. I KNOW the Church is True! I hope I never forget it. I hope that Brighton will remember this too.

How amazing. Having a child in pain is the worst, and it's such a blessing that the priesthood is here to comfort us when needed. Glad you blogged this. Feel better Brighton!
Wow! I haven't ever experienced anything like this but I love hearing about others' experiences. That is awesome and it shows how Heavenly Father really cares and is waiting for us to come to him. We are so lucky to have the priesthood!!
I love this post. I am going to remember this. What a blessing.
