Surgery

Micah Surgery

 On Wednesday, January 13, 2010 we took Micah to a Ear, Nose and Throat consultation for surgery to remove his tonsils. As soon as Dr. J.M. Hammerick, M.D. saw him he told us that he would definitely need surgery and also the tubes in his ears. So on February 9, 2010 Micah will have surgery. The reason we are going ahead with this is because we have had 2 recent experiences where Micah gets sick with ear infections and colds and is unable to breathe. He gasps for air and is very scary to watch. The first time we were about to go to bed and he was gasping for air, I freaked out of course and we rushed him to the ER and they had to give him a shot. That is when the ER doctor told us if we knew he had oversize tonsils for his age. Our regular doctor never mentioned that until the second time Micah got sick and we took him into the Doctors office and she noticed the tonsils very big also. So we have decided that it is in Micah's best interest to remove his tonsils at age 3 and put tubes in his ears, this should decrease the number of ear infections he gets. Please begin to pray for Micah that this surgery and recovering go smooth. He will be uncomfortable in swallowing for about 2 weeks.

One more thing that I thought was so sweet. While we were waiting for the Dr. to see Micah, Hannah began to cry. We asked her what was wrong and she said," I don't want them to hurt Micah because I love him"....that was so sweet. We explained to her nothing would happen today but they were going to make him better. What an AWESOME Sister You are Hannah.
