Surgery tommorow

This picture is of J September 2004

J will have surgery tommorow. When he was 3 he started with ear infection after 6 months of anitbiotics , we decided to put tubes in his ears. When the Dr. was putting the tubes in he discovered Cholesteatoma in Js left ear. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesteatoma. It was determined that J has congenital cholesteatoma. So now that this will be his fourth surgery and I am praying the last. He basically has had to go in every summer since and remove any remaining c-toma. that have regenerated, left from a single tiny cell.So if Dr. D goes in tommorow and finds nothing, he will be done. The first goal is to establish a healthy ear , next will be to restore hearing. The first surgery Dr had to remove a bone and half of the three inner bones and build him a new eardrum (AMAZING) So yes J has hearing loss and will eventually require a hearing aid.
Please pray for:
J- to be brave and have courage
S and Theresa- be brave and have courage
Dr D- wisdom and a steady hand
Lastly that the choles. is ALL gone.
