Adenoid Surgery

I took Thompson to his Pediatrician and his ENT on Monday. He received vaccines and the H1N1. Thompson is 32 ¼” (75%-90%) and 24LBS (50%).
Thompson has had an ear infection since his ear tube surgery in December. Dr. Bakta (our ENT) gave him Levaquin liquid. It is not normally used in Children and can be dangerous however he needs to clear this infection.
Dr. Bakta scheduled Thompson for an adenoidectomy (removal of adenoids) on Friday and a right ear tube removal and replacement. Snow fell on Thursday and I can't remember ever praying for snow to stop...but we did on Thursday. Lacey took Thompson to his surgery with me because William had an out of town meeting.
Thompson is recovering well. We are waiting to see if he clears the infection and we are thankful to Children’s Healthcare and everyone that helped us. Thompson loves spending time with his grandparents!
Thompson has a post-op appointment in 3 weeks. We are trying to rest peacefully in Jesus and know that Thompson is in His loving hands. Thank You for the prayers!

Wade and Gayle drove up on Saturday and treated us to a date night! We went to Maggino’s and enjoyed "It's Complicated" at the Cumberland Theater and it was great fun! Thanks to them! Today, Lacey watched Thompson so we could go to Church and Lunch...I'm telling you we have it too good!
