Josiah's had a sinus infection off and on since mid-August. Our check-in with the ENT today was rather discouraging. One tube is already out of his ear (which we knew) and the other is barely hanging on. The pressure in the tubeless ear is negative...which I guess is indicative of the sinus trouble he's been having. We are down to one antibiotic that works. All to say that if things don't stay cleared up, the next step is a CT scan and after that, probable surgery. (Due to his age and activity level, he will have to be put to sleep for the CT scan.)
We are trusting God's purposes in this whatever the outcome, but also praying Josiah's current course of antibiotics (which he is on for 4 weeks) will do the trick. It could be a long winter. If you think of him, please pray with us for healing.
Here's one of my favorite recent pictures of Josiah spending some good quality time with the cows on Ropp's farm.
An update on Annika: her liver transplant was successful and the new liver is functioning. She's had a few bumps in the road but came out of her latest surgery with better news than her mom could have hoped for. She continues to remain sedated until she has healed more. Thanks for keeping her in your prayers as well!!!
