Went back for another ENT checkup for Max today. Just what we expected...he'll be getting his 4th set of tubes. He will have the surgery on Tuesday the 3rd. Upon recommendation of the ER doctor from his last late night visit with the croup, as well as his pediatrician, the ENT is also going to do a scope while he's under (Max...not the doctor :) ) and check out his air passage to make sure there isn't anything in there that could be causing the recurring croup.
While we hate that our child has to have even a simple surgery such as this, John and I are also VERY aware of how blessed we are that it is JUST a simple surgery and nothing else. As we pray that Max does okay and the doctors take care of our baby boy, we are also saying prayers for our friends children who are battling MUCH MORE SERIOUS medical situations than we are. If you have a moment, please pray for little Logan and little Hunter who are too small to have to bear the burdens they do...(I wish no one of any size or age had to). Please pray for their parents as they do their best for their sick children as well as the healthy siblings. Pray for their doctors as they do their best to determine the best course of treatment for each of these boys. Pray that whatever happens, that they know they can lean on God for support and that He will never leave them.
If you could also say a prayer for our Max we would be forever grateful as well.

Thanks for your sweet comment on Monday. I said a prayer for Max today - I hope his surgery goes perfectly as planned and that God will take care of him while he is out of your hands.
