The Appointments

Last week ,we met with the plastic surgeon, the general surgeon, and the eye doctor. The plastic surgeon is requesting that Sam have a food allergy test run. He felt that Sam was breathing a little too hard and that combined with little growth can be a sign for a food allergy. We have suggested this before but with no luck. So, we are talking with our insurance company to see if this will be covered. Also, he said that we will wait a little longer on the palate surgery to decide if the palate is what is causing his speech problems. He also asked that we get his hearing re-evaluated. The eye doctor said that his eyes were doing much better. He will still need to wear his glasses but there is a lot of hope that he will grow out of his eye problems. We lost his glasses last week at the fair the night before his eye appointment. I asked all of our family to pray that we find them because they are so expensive. Well, we found them but they were so trampled that they were almost unrecognizable. Thankfully, we had insurance on them and we ordered new lenses. Lastly, the general surgeon thought that his stomach still looked a little too red and would like to see him again this week.

All of Sam's appointments seem to run in cycles. He has quite a few more this next week and then we will be slowing down a little bit. Thank you all for your prayers
