Tomorrow

My sweet Jake.

Tomorrow he is having surgery.

Three years ago he another surgery to insert tubes into his ears. Tubes usually stay in children's ears 8-12 months before they fall out. But one of Jake's tubes never came out and once you hit the 3 year mark it must be surgically removed. The hole will be patched but there is a chance that it won't heal properly leading to other problems. Please pray that it heals!!

While he's under anesthesia we decided to get his tonsils and adenoids removed as well. His tonsils are large but the main reason we're doing it is because the removal of the tonsils has been known to permanently cure the Periodic Fever Syndrome that he suffers from. We've already stopped his twice daily medication and are praying that the episodes don't return after the surgery!!

We've been warned that the recovery from this operation is not fun. Jake knows all about what's going to happen we just didn't tell him what day. This weekend we went to the store and he got to pick out ice cream, popsicles, pudding, juice... he was in heaven :)

Please pray for Jake when you think about him in the days ahead. Thanks friends!!
