Surgery it is!

Cooper has been in rare form today. Not in the best of moods since he woke up this morning. However, we did go to the ENT and they are recommending tubes in and Adenoids out. The tubes to get the fluid out of the ears and keep from getting so many ear infections. The adenoids to get rid of the congestion due to infections. I called to try and get a surgery scheduled and they are still working on moving the schedule around. Right now, they earliest surgery date would be in Jan. Hopefully before his birthday, so that he is feeling great by the time that he is 1. He will also have to have a hearing test before the surgery, but of course, that can't be scheduled until the surgery is scheduled. Everything will be done at Texas Children's Hospital in the Medical Center. Cooper is just ready to start feeling better. So, just some prayers that everything is schedule efficiently.

A great site to learn about adenoids and why they are removed: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/health_problems/teeth/adenoids.html


UPDATE AS OF 12/12/07- Surgery is scheduled for Jan. 23rd!

I'm so sorry to hear he'll require surgery, but hope this will improve his health and happiness ASAP! We will pray for little Cooper.
