Dear friends and family,                             
 
            We would really appreciate if you would pray for Sarah our daughter.  Since she was 6 months old she has been on and off antibiotics.  She typically can only make it for at the longest a month before having to go back on antibiotics.  Today I took her to a specialist(ENT).  He did an endoscopic exam on her sinuses and throat.  She has 4 or 5 infections.  He is going to try two antibiotics to see if this clears it up for 2 weeks.  If that doesn’t work he will try the same thing for 2 more weeks and if that doesn’t work she will have to have surgery.  We have gone down the road of 2 antibiotics to cover everything before and it has not worked.  She is so sick and miserable right now.  I know medicine needs time to work but she has been on antibiotics for a week now.  She is now switching the new stuff the doctor prescribed today.  I want her well now but I know it takes time. 
 
Our health insurance will not cover surgery since this is a pre existing condition.  As of right now we have one surgery that we have to pay for and most likely a second one.  We don’t have the funds to pay for 3rd surgery(or for any of the others).  We could have the surgery done here although I like this doctor trusting him to do a surgery that is not common here is another thing.  I really want to take her to my former pedaetric ENT Dr. Charles Myers at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital if possible but like I said the health insurance won’t cover it till next May.  Please pray that she is healed and that surgery will not be necessary.  If the Lord feels this surgery needs to be done pray that He will provide the funding.  Thank you for your prayers.
 
May God bless you,
