Surgery tomorrow

Jack's surgery is scheduled for 8:45 tomorrow morning. We're hoping after the adenoids come out and he gets another set of tubes, his hearing will improve.

Say a little prayer for him! I'll update you tomorrow when it is done!

Surgery for Jack

Just wanted to tell you that Jack will be having surgery on Feb 23rd. He'll have another set of tubes placed and his adenoids removed. While the surgery is not too scary, any time a little one has to be under anesthesia, it does give me a little concern. Please say a little prayer for Jack a week from Tuesday. We have a busy week here with their birthday, starting preschool, and the surgery.

Thank you as always for keeping us in your prayers!

Breakfast in bed and the night before IEP...

This morning the boys had breakfast in bed. The last few weekends we've been snuggling together in bed in the mornings as a family, and today we decided to let them eat breakfast in our bed. They were SO excited!




Tomorrow morning is our IEP meeting. Tensions are already high and I have this knot at the bottom of my stomach. I want to make sure what we come out with is a document that serves our boys in the best way possible. Even though I am a teacher, sometimes the IEP-ese confuses even me a little. (David feels lost.) It can be really hard reading an outsider's perspective on your children.

Please say a prayer for us tomorrow morning. I'll report back from the other side...

He's still sick...keep the prayers coming!

Still has a high fever. He's only perky enough to walk around a little bit a few times this morning, after a good dose of Motrin.

I'll update. We're hoping for some lab work to come back this afternoon.

Keep them coming!

prayers needed for Jack

I don't ask often, but I need you to pray for Jack. He started with a fever on Monday night, and has been sick this whole week. Last night we were late for Thanksgiving dinner because he woke from his nap with a "neurological incident" that led to him having tremors for an hour. When I took him to the pediatrician today, his fever was 105.

They ran some tests today and we'll have to go back Monday and run bloodwork on him if he still has a fever. I'd appreciate any good thoughts and prayers you can send our way. Jack this sick is scary.

More prayers needed

Sorry to have been so MIA, our statewide music teacher convention is this week/weekend so I have been very busy it seems.

D took Jack to the pedi today on our hunch, and he has his 5th ear infection in a row. We found out on ear infection #4 we think he is allergic to penicillin, so we will see an allergist on Monday. After today, she referred us to an ENT so Jack can have the surgery to have tubes put in his ears.

While the surgery has advanced a lot and is not nearly as bad as when David and I had it as children, please say a little prayer. We should know more on Monday, and the pedi thinks surgery might accelerate his talking/vocabulary gains.

As of yesterday, the boys are 23 months! One month till two! I'll post pics tomorrow!

Prayers needed

I learned heartbreaking news that my sister in law (and brother in law) are experiencing a miscarriage. Please take a moment to stop by her blog and offer her support. She needs it very much, and I really appreciate it.
