Poor Baby!

We had a big outing this morning to see the Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist to have Asher’s little ears checked out.  One thing we were praying for is to have total clarity as to what route we should take next and we feel very assured that that prayer was answered!  It looks like our next stop will be Children’s Hospital for surgery to have tubes put in!!  Just the sheer number of ear infections was enough to convice the doc that we should do tubes (apparently any more than four in one year should mean tubes and we’re WAY over that number).  Also, they did a hearing test and while a range of 0 to 20 is considered normal, Asher was at a 30, which the doc said would normally (if there was no diagnosis) make him want to put hearing aids in immediately…yikes!  Anyhow, I’ll certainly keep you posted as to when we get the surgery scheduled but we would definitely appreciate your prayers that everything would go smoothly and that the infections would stop and his hearing would go back to normal and not cause any lasting problems.  Thanks all!
