.... just can't catch a break!
Sunday evening, after we thought he was doing well after his bought with the tummy virus, he crashed at 6:30. Very unusual! Yesterday, he continued to act very lethargic, and would occasionally run a very low grade temp.
This morning, I had an ENT appointment for him, to check on his tubes. (He had tubes put in when he was about 13 months old, and last we check one was almost out). One of the tubes had fallen out, which is totally normal, but the abnormal part was that Micah had an ear infection. His other ear, where he still had a tube, was fine. The doctor also asked me about the state of his nose. Runny. All the time.
So, the doctor, knowing Micah's history with ear troubles, is going to have us go back in a month. If there is even a little fluid in his ear, we will get tubes. While he's out, they are probably going to go ahead and remove his adenoids too.
Doesn't all this sound familiar?
I asked the doctor about the possibility of allergy testing, since that has been another problem of Micah's, even causing some asthma type problems. The doc said that we could possibly do some allergy testing while he was out too.
For now, he's just on some antibiotics to clear up his ears. And in a month, we'll see where we are. If Micah does require surgery, this will be our family's seventh surgery in two and a half years. :-) Thankfully, most of them have been fairly minor, as should Micah's. Now we just have to try to see if we can get a three-for-the-price-of-one deal on tubes with the Findleys!

Yes, now where have I heard all of this before? Oh yeah, I'm living it too. A 3 for the price of 1 deal would be awesome! At least you'll probably get to see Alexis' recovery from Adenoid removal before you have Micah's so you can learn from my mistakes. ;-)Praying that all of these minor surgeries will make major improvements in our childrens' health!
Father, would you give Micah rest and restore him to good health? Would You give the doctors wisdom in diagnosing and treating him and would You grant Curtis and Kiersten a love that is patient, kind and understanding as they care for him. May Micah know even at this early age Your love and Your grace in his time of need. Thank You for the gift of Micah and for the joy he brings into the Kracja family as well as all of our lives. In Jesus name. Amen.
Amen!! We will be praying for wisdom for all involved! Love you Micah, hope all this helps you feel great.
