Sick of being Sick!

Daniel has been sick for 7.5 weeks now with one thing or another - well, really since he turned 6 months.  He's had roseola, 3 upper respiratory infections, 4 ear infections, the croup, pink eye, a stomach virus with fever, and I am sure I am leaving something out.  We are exhausted and catching a lot of these sicknesses as well.  Today, Daniel had an appointment with a pediatric ENT and we found out that he needs tubes in his ears.  We were all ready to set the appointment up for next week when the nurse asked, "Has he had bronchitis or the croup lately?"  Well, yes, he had croup last week as a matter of fact!  Unfortunately, we have to wait 6 weeks until we can get tubes per the anesthesiologist.  Bummer.  We have heard that tubes can really make a difference, and were ready to do something quickly for our little buddy.  So - looks like in 5 weeks we will have that opportunity. Please pray that Daniel does not get any major respiratory infections between now and mid-October or the surgery will be delayed again! 

Below is a picture of Daniel with his Daddy.  This is their morning ritual - drinking a bottle (Welles drinks coffee) and watching Disney.  Daniel always insists on being the remote controller!
