Ears

Micah had his ENT appointment this morning, and surprise, surprise, he still has an ear infection. He also failed his hearing test in one ear (the ear with no tube) though this is just temporary due to the fluid and infection. In one week, Micah will have a second set of tubes put in his ears. While they are in there, they are also going to remove his adenoids. The whole procedure will probably only last 15 minutes, but we would covet your prayers. The part that I'm most worried about is when they take him back. He's old enough to be weary of strangers, but not quite old enough for lots of prep. I'm also worried about when he wakes up from anesthesia. He was an angry mess last go around, and now he's almost twice as big!

I'm very thankful that we're going to be able to get this taken care of. I think it will help Micah a lot. They've told us that some of the behavioral problems we've been dealing with should be resolved, which is a HUGE perk!

Thanks for you prayers!

I hadn't thought about the whole behavior thing before, but that makes a lot of sense. I know you guys are slightly nervous about all of this so we will be praying!
