update 12/22/11

Hello everyone!  Not sure where the time goes, but it looks like I have been a bit neglectful in my blogging updates, so here ya go.

Andrew's surgery was on Tuesday and praise God our prayers were answered.  Everything turned out better than expected and his parts are where they are supposed to be!!  He did a great job and has been such a good patient!!  Grandma Pam has been at our house tending to him the past couple of days and we really appreciate that, so we don't have to miss more work.  I know some may judge me for working outside the home, but the only one who can do that is God, and this is what works best for our family. 

Jacob's tube surgery is scheduled for January 3rd and hopefully everything will stay put this time!!  Poor guy has had an ear infection that will not go away, so I am hoping this will get rid of it.  Other than that he is our little stinker and keeps us on our toes.

Lucas is still our happy little guy despite all of his medical issues.  On December 6th we met with the craniofacial team in Minneapolis and were very impressed.  So much so, we scheduled surgery for January 30th.  We are going to Dallas next week to meet with the craniofacial team down there to make sure we are making the right decision by Lucas, but we are confident we are doing right by him.  I am ready for it to be over and for all to settle down for a bit in our home.  I am going to take him to the nephrologist (kidney specialist) tomorrow for his three month ultrasound and check up, and we are praying for good results with this as well.
