Update

Samuel at 3months old

Cousin time!

I thought I would post some pictures before giving an update of recent events.
Thanks to all of you that were praying about my first day of work, and subsequent stress of being canceled. Here is the latest. My insurance was reinstated on the 19th so that was a huge answer to prayer... really the only thing I was worried about. I also found out that I can only be canceled twice a year by them. I can choose to stay home if I want and they need it. I'm next scheduled on Monday so we'll try this all again and see what happens. I would like to work. I have heard things are different at the hospital so I'm praying that I will remain positive about my job and fall back into the routine of things. Thanks again for all your prayers.

Another update.... Amelia was at the pediatrician for her pre-op physical today and the verdict was that there is still fluid in the one ear so we will go ahead with the surgery on Tuesday. The ENT had said if the ears were clear at her pre-op we would cancel surgery (he thought they would be!) We have had this procedure before so we kinda know what to expect. Amelia is older now, and a bit more dramatic and likes her mid-morning snack and lunch (which she wont' be able to have). Our biggest job will be keeping her away from food all morning and drinkafter 11am as surgery is not till 2pm. My parents will be in town anyway so will watch Samuel, so we are grateful for that (though he is usually the easier one of the two :) ) I'm hoping the tubes will help with the speech and reduce the colds this winter!
