This is going to be a long week. Harrison is scheduled for surgery on Wednesday, January 16. We won't know the time until his pre-op tomorrow. As many of you know, Harrison had ear tubes placed in May.
Well, since then he has had numerous infections that have taken 2-3 rounds of antibiotics. This most recent bilateral infection caused his left ear to drain blood. His ENT is removing the original tubes, cleaning out the infections, and inserting a second set of tubes (made out of Titanium). In addition, Harrison is having a Larynoscopy, the ENT inserts a magnifying tube in his airway to look at his trachea and his vocal cords. He has a paralyzed cord from his heart surgery and we want the doctor to take a look at it. We figure since he is asleep it would be a prime opportunity. They are also going to perform an ABR hearing test while he sedated. This is because he has underdeveloped inner ears. This is a very fancy hearing test using brain waves.
So, we are asking for prayers again. Also, I am taking my teaching test today. Please pray for a passing grade. I am getting my alternative teaching certificate and this test is very important.
I will update later in the week with Harrison's progress. He is on steroids right now, because he was getting a cough. We don't want to have to cancel the surgery. His ears are really making him FUSSY!

Good luck with everything! It seems like this is the week for activity for all heart babies. We will add Harrison to our list for a successful surgery.
