Please Pray with Us....

Today Jake went back for his follow up on his ear infections/hearing loss.  He was suppose to go the week I fell but we had to reschedule that appt.  I almost didn't take him today because I assumed he was doing fine.  Well he isn't....  His ears are still full of fluid and non of his hearing has returned.  We have just assumed he was ignoring us.  And to be quite honest we just haven't thought much about it with all the other drama the last few weeks.  So the doc put him on a steroid, nasal spray, antibiotic and a antihistamine to try to clear it up.  He said if it is not clear in a month we will have to do surgery to put tubes back in his ears so they will drain.  He has had the surgery before and did fine.  The catch this time is our insurance won't cover it.  The new insurance we have will not cover tubes, adenoids or tonsils for the first year and we are only 3 months into that first year.  But if the doc can't get the ears to drain it will have to be done or he will sustain long term hearing loss.  So please pray with us that his ears clear up completely in spite of pollen and allergy season and all the drainage that comes with that.  I am very thankful for your faithful prayers for my family the last few months.
