A Big Thank You to the Man Upstairs

As many of you all know, Noah has been having feeding issues related to reflux since birth and after trying everything under the sun to treat and prevent his vomiting and poor eating habits, his Gastroenterologist decided it would be best to do an endoscopy and take some biopsies. So we scheduled this a couple months ago for this coming Monday. Fast forward to earlier this week. Noah has been having congestion since his birthday in early December and no matter what we do it won't go away. From saline and suctioning to sinus rinsing and allergy meds it hasn't abated. So we got in last minute with his ENT this past Monday and voiced our concerns. She ordered an xray to check his adenoids and sure enough, they were huge. We mentioned that he had an endoscopy scheduled a week from that day and asked if it would be possible to do it at the same time. We'd been waiting to hear back from the surgery coordinator at Children's to let us know whether or not Noah was going to be able to have his adenoids removed at the same time of his endoscopy to avoid having to intubate him on two separate occasions. The main problem was obviously the last-minutedness and the fact that the ENT specialists schedule out at least 2 months in advance for surgery and this was coupled with the fact that there might not be enough time allotted in the surgery room for two procedures. We got the call this afternoon and by nothing but the grace of God they were able to coordinate and Noah will have both done. Call me crazy or anything else you want but I know that God is watching over this little guy because it was only possible because of a last-minute cancellation that day for a ENT surgeon at the same time Noah's endoscopy was scheduled. Our prayers were answered. And now I don't have to stress about my poor son's inability to sleep well at night because of his honkey nose and snoring or wonder why my son isn't eating well and can't transition to solids as I wait another two months for a new surgery date. God is good and if you were wondering that right now, here's proof!  And, if you wouldn't mind, maybe a prayer or two for this worried mom and a quick recovery for my baby that has had to endure too much already. ;)
