The End of Ear Infections (we hope)

I forgot to post about our appontments in Denver a few weeks ago. 

Landon saw ENT and confirmed that he needs to get tubes.  He is actually having that done tomorrow - it is a surgery, but only a 7 minute one.  It will be strange to go to the hospital and have surgery done probably by the time we sit down!  They are supposed to have a cardiac anesthesiologist to keep an extra eye on him but we're pretty sure he'll be discharged the same day.

Please pray that the tubes are successful and that they help reduce the number of ear infections.  He had 5 over 2 months and we've just kept him on the antibiotic for the last week so keep him from getting another one. 

He was also seen at the cardiac clinic in Denver for developmental testing and he did great!  As expected, he tested low in his gross motor but as you probably read from Gary's post today, he's making steady improvement in that area.  Hopefully with fewer ear infections, his balance will improve and give him even more of a boost!
