Surgeries

Well, some of you may not have realized it, but Grant had ear tube surgery yesterday (the 24th). Of course he did great, they took him back around 7:45 and he was out by 8:15 or so. Ear tubes are such a quick thing (about 7 minutes for the actual procedure). The rest of the day you couldn't even tell he'd had anything done --- he acted fine.

Now, we'd love to have that same result next week. On September 2 (Wednesday) Grant AND Tyler will both be having foot surgery by Dr. Olney (the orthopaedic surgeon) in Kansas City at Children's Mercy Hospital. We will be traveling up the night before (I think) because Grant will be first thing in the morning and Tyler right after him. Grant will be having his big toe (which currently sticks out) squeezed in by closing the cleft in his foot some. Tyler will be having the exact same thing done on his right foot that he had on his left. Both will be in the hospital overnight (separate rooms due to the fact that they have no dual rooms there). Chris and I will both be there --- one of us in each room, and possibly switching some. We are to be dismissed on Thursday at some point (hopefully by noonish). Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we anticipate these surgeries. Thanks!
