Update

Tressa had her follow-up with the ENT yesterday and he determined she needs her adenoids removed and her tubes replaced. Not a surprise, we were expecting this. Luckily she doesn't have to have her tonsils taken. He said they were small and since she hasn't had any problems with them so far, there was no reason to put her through that as well. Thank goodness!! I was really worried after seeing what one of her China sisters has been through. She had the same procedure plus her tonsils taken just last week and is still trying to recover. Tressa is scheduled for surgery Thursday, at 7am. Her doctor didn't want to waste any time considering the problems she's had with her ears already. Oh, and she does still have an ear infection, but the surgery should clear that. So apparently the antibotic didn't help at all. Poor kid. We're hopeful this will make her healthy and keep her that way for a while. The doctor said the surgery shouldn't take long and we should be home before noon. Please keep Tressa in your prayers for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.

you are all in our prayers.
I think back to the flight to Hong Kong and how she cried and how much pain she was in. I hope this will help take care of it all for you guys. She is such a cutie pie.
God Bless!
