Please say a little prayer for Drew. He is having his adenoids taken out and his sinuses "cleaned out" tomorrow. We have to be at Batson Hospital at 7am and he can't have any juice after 4am... this part is going to traumatize him. Juice is the first thing he asks for as soon as he wakes up each morning!!! AND, I had to go pick him up from school this morning because he was running 101.8 fever! They said we could still do the surgery as long as there were no other symptoms. We are having to give him Tylenol every 4 hours!
Also, Ryan went to the pediatrician this morning and weighs a whopping 8 pounds, 8 ounces!! So, we are very proud of him!! He also had to see the pediatric surgeon at Batson about his inguinal hernia. Turns out, it is a bilateral hernia, and the surgeon wants to do it now, rather than later. So, that is scheduled for next Thursday. We have to be there at 6:15am and he can't have any liquids after 4 am! We will have to spend the night because he is small.
I have decided that we are just a glutton for punishment around here!!!

Oh my goodness, Emily!! I'll be praying for your sweet boys...and for you! I hope all these things go well. Andrew has already turned a corner from his surgery. So, hopefully Drew will have a quick recovery, too.

Hey Emily,
Don't worry, the boys will do great. McNeil has had tubes placed and Graves had something taken off his neck at Batson and they both did fine and bounced back fast!
Will be praying for y'all.
