Ear injury so prayers needed

Ethan got stepped on by Kara two nights ago. She was acting crazy and decided to step on his head. He said it hurt and was crying at the time. Well, two days later after coming home from the sleep over, he complained his ear hurt. Albert had me call and make an appointment with his ENT to check it out. With his past ear problems, we don't take any infection lightly. When we got home, we had him lay down because he was tired. When he woke up, he was crying in pain. He said his ear hurt on the inside. Albert and I both thought he had swimmer's ear because of all his swimming. Albert took him in and he has cauliflower ear. The cartilage near his right ear is either bruised or torn. They prescribed steroids so it will heal. If the extreme pain persists until Monday, he will need to have surgery to repair it. Please keep him in your prayers. He is to take it easy for the next few days. That is going to be tough because Ethan is one busy little guy.
