Grayson's big surgery

Tomorrow is a big day for our little boy!!! We found out about a week ago that Grayson needs to have his adenoids removed. Over the course of the last year, he has has a lot of really bad ear infections. They seemed to have cleared up over the warmer months but since we returned from vacation, he had gotten one and then another shortly after his 3rd birthday. His most current infection, he's had for about a month with 3 rounds of different antibiotics. Enough was enough!!



We went to the ENT and she explained to us that is was due to enlarged adenoids and that is why he never got ear infections as a baby b/c the adenoids don't form until 18-24 months. After he turned 2 (last winter) was when he began getting them EVERY single time he got a cold. Because of all the puss in his ears, his ear drum isn't responding the way it should which could lead to hearing damage. Marc and I were prepared to hear about tubes being placed but the adenoids being taken out took us both by surprise. Needless to say, please keep all of us in your prayers as you go about you day tomorrow. It is a big day for Grayson and Marc and I, like most parents we are nervous and scared to for our little boy. We just hopes it makes him feel better in the long run. He has been so miserable lately, it breaks our hearts.
