Our little Ri-man is set to have tubes placed in both ears on April 23rd at 7:30am Please be praying for him, I can only imagine how terrified he is going to be once we are at the surgery center and things begin happening to him. We do have peace that this is the right thing and time for Riley to have this done as he scored very badly on a hearing test given last month. The tubes could last up to one and half years depending on when they fall out. The good news is he can still go swimming, surfing and take baths as usual. The better news is, is that his hearing should be fully restored and his speech will continue to get better not that it is really all that bad, different then Myles was at this age but still not to off. This may be the first of a few surgeries for Ri though. If for some reason things do not improve or if his nasal spray does not start working he will then need to have his tonsils out which then could lead to his adenoids being removed as well. Of course we are dreading any type of surgery he may face but trust that God's plan is at work in Riley and us. We still feel so blest to have such healthy kids even though sometimes we take them for granted. I recently read how most families/parents do not value their children as God does. This really hit home for Jeff and I. We love our kiddos to pieces but know at times we are failing them greatly by not valuing them as God does. This makes our heart break greatly, times are changing though :)

Been there. Done that. All I can say is that having his adenoids out? Best move we ever made.
