here we go again....

so tomorrow we head to children's hospital again for round #2 for kinley. is it crazy to think i was only around 6 months ago that we were there getting her first set up tubes. a lot has happened in the last 6 months that makes it feel like it flew and other ways that makes it feel like it was forever ago. our family has been through a lot in the last 6 months. i was only a week after kinley's last tubes mark was admitted into the hospital and had surgery where he got diagnosed with sarcoidosis. that alone has been a HUGE life change for us. we really feel god has used it for his good. we as a family have grown a lot through that. unfortunately kinley has been sick since she got her first tubes placed. she has had at least 6 ear infections since then...yuck. despite all her sickness, she has learned to walk, has gained a couple pounds, has started to try to talk, and has grown a lot in personality :) considering what she has been through i think that is pretty amazing. even with all she has accomplished she is still not where the doctors would like her to be. she is trending backwards on the growth chart, and has not been able to pass her hearing tests...therefore has not progressed a lot in her speech. we are at the point that with all the ear infections they are concerned with causing permanent hearing loss. so here we are after 3 rounds of rocephin (antibiotic) and still not able to clear her current infection.....so to surgery we go. they have decided to take out her adenoids and possibly her tonsils. we are praying that this will be the answer for her to get healthy. thank you all for your prayers and support during the last 6-7 months. it has been a challenging and rough road, but with the lords guidance and your prayers we feel so blessed! i will update you all tomorrow after surgery :)
