Upcoming Surgery

It has been a struggle to get the approval for this procedure, but Kennedy will finally be able to get tubes put in her ears. She has been very sick with double ear infections since November and she has been in pain ever since. We wanted the surgery to be done in Hagerstown instead of DC, and that has been a nightmare to get records transferred to the correct departments.

Kennedy was very sick for her birthday party and cried the whole time! The following week she was in the Pediatrician's office three times because of a 104.6 fever that we could not keep under control. Kaylee ended up getting Strep throat and Mono the same week! Larry and I started to feel sick, so we were given antibiotics as well.

Kennedy was back to her old self a few days ago, and we hadn't seen her that happy since October. You could tell that her ears weren't bothering her and she felt great. Unfortunately, she started vomiting and got a bad case of diarrhea yesterday! I am afraid she got a virus, but Larry is hoping it was bad food or something. If she gets sick again, the surgery will have to be cancelled----AND WE DON'T WANT THAT!!

So her surgery is scheduled for this Monday. We are trying to keep fluids in her and monitor her temperature right now. I hope Larry is right and maybe she ate something that was bad....but I have a feeling it is a virus. Help us with prayer over the next few days that she is well enough for the surgery that she desperately needs.
