Just checking in to update those of you who have been praying for us, and are curious about Anna and Claire's health.
~We had Claire's Post opp appointment last week Monday. The surgeon looked at her eyes and said that everything looks great. Another surgery at this point will NOT be necessary. Praise God! There is a chance that in the future her tear ducts could start to close up again, but the chances of that happening are so small. We were very happy to hear that! :)
~Anna had her appointment with the ENT. The Dr. determined that she does need to have tubes put in. The good news in all of this is that there is no permanent hearing loss. It is all due to too much fluid in her ears. Dr. said her ear drums look good! We were able to get her scheduled to have the procedure done on July 22nd. Anna cried when she was told she has to have surgery. She is very nervous but oddly enough the thing that she is most afraid of is throwing up, and not the surgery itself. Both Ryan and Claire threw up after their surgeries. Throwing up is one of the things Anna fears most in life. Poor girl. We are doing what we can to alleviate her concerns.
Thanks so much for all of your prayers for our girls. We really appreciate it!

praying for Anna and that she may feel peace and not be afraid! Glad everything is going well otherwise!!!!!! Caleb had a problem with his tear ducts for a while and they kept telling me he needed to see a surgeon but I kept waiting it out because I wanted to try and avoid it..eventually they cleared up themselves but the doctor said it was very rare for that to happen once they were past a year which he was. Glad he didn't have to have it. And happy that your experience went well...hope they stay clear!
Liz,I'm so glad to hear that Anna's problem is so minor! I'll be praying that the surgery will not only be quick and easy but that Anna's fears will be calmed. I'm sure that everything will be totally fine and she'll be hearing crystal clear in no time.
I have the same fear in life.
I'm afraid of throwing up during or after childbirth!! :]
