Hi all, after several closely placed ear infections and a constant fluid filled set of ears Emmett will be having day surgery to get Tubes put in his ears on Monday Dec. 10, day after tomorrow. He will be at Egleston under the knife of Dr. Todd our ENT.
We have to be at the hospital at 6am, so we plan to sleep over at my parents with all the kids. My mom will watch our other three while we are gone. The surgery will only take about an hour. Please pray for his safety as he will be under general anesthesia and knowing his high-need status as a baby, he will not be happy once they take him away.......at that point, we will both need prayer.
It is a fairly routine surgery, and all the hospital staff and Dr. Todd have been very encouraging. We have decided to do this because with his hearing loss on top of fluid filled ears, he is impaired further with the combination and he is likely to be further delayed in his speech/language development.
Thanks for all your prayers! We love you all!
