Tubes (Not the Band!) in Ears

Hi all,

Sorry its been a bit since our last update.

Dustin recently had tubes in his ears to help fluid drain from his ears and we are hoping that we can get a good hearing test. Because he has had so much fluid in his ear this has prevented a good hearing test - hearing is critical for speech development so this is a prayer request. Dustin will have an appt with the ear nose and throat (ENT) guy in early June so we are hoping the fluid does not collect and we can get a good hearing test.

Otherwise, Dustin is doing great! He is now about 15 pounds and he is just over 2ft 2in tall - doesnt it seem silly to keep referring to kids as "inches long" once they get into "feet"? He is not yet crawling or sitting up but the therapists keep working on this and he rolls really well and can spin around while on the floor which is very close to crawling. The therapists are pleased with his progress.

We've added photos here.

Zach is very excited to wrap up Kindergarten and he will start various camps and things this summer. He wants to keep taking tennis lessons so this is exciting - Rob and Zach play a bit.

Thanks for your prayers - God works!
