Mission accomplished!

Liam had a great surgery experience yesterday (well, as great as these things can be, anyway!). The three surgeons were able to put the tubes in his ears, fix his lazy eyes, and circumcise him successfully. We went in at 6 for a 7:15 surgery. They started on time and were done by around 9:30. We were home by 1:30 p.m. He rested comfortably yesterday, slept the whole night straight through, and has been resting today as well. All is going well!

Thank you so much for your prayers! We feel very blessed to live in a country where we can easily access doctors who have the best training and resources and equally thankful that we have good insurance coverage.

Please pray that his recovery continues to go smoothly!

In Christ,

Gearing up for Monday!

Liam is still set to have three minor outpatient surgeries on June 29. For those who haven't visited the blog in a while, he is having them all at once to minimize his exposure to aneshesia for the year. The ENT is putting tubes in his ears because he is showing hearing loss due to chronic fluid (without chronic ear infections, thankfully) in his ears. We hope this results in higher rates of speech acquisition! The eye doc is going to fix his lazy eye (yahoo!), just in time for his two year pictures! At the same time, the little guy is going to be circumcised since the docs said there were more important things to focus on when he was born.

We would appreciate your prayers. While he is expected to come through it just fine, come home the same day, and have a very short recovery time for all three surgeries, no one wants their little boy going "under the knife," no matter how minor.

In Christ,
Bill and Lisa
