All About My Little Guy



Today was a great doctor appointment for Jonah. This poor boy has been dealing with allergy sinus stuff for three years. He lives with a box of kleenex next to him at all times. He can't breathe through his nose and at night has a hard time sleeping because his tonsils are enlarged and block his airway. Well today the ENT doctor took one look at him and said we need to take those tonsils and adnoids out immediately. We have been scared watching Jonah sleep at night. He has stopped breathing a number of times for a few seconds and always thrashes around the whole night. Hopefully my sweet blessing will have some relief. This will happen at the end of the month if not sooner. Your prayers would be appreciated this will be the first time Jonah will have any kind of procedure done. He is excited however about all the ice cream we have promised him. He will have it in the morning and go home on pain meds. He will have to miss two baseball games so he is sad about that. I got choked up when he asked if he could still go and watch his team.

Speaking of baseball. We had an incredible opportunity to switch leagues this year. He is playing La Mirada Pony League with Ben Orr as his Coach. Ben played for the minors and he is passionate about Jesus and baseball. In 2001 while playing professional baseball, Ben founded the "Called Up Baseball Camp" allowing him to share his baseball skills and reach the surrounding baseball community with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Could not get a better coach. He does an amazing job loving on these kids and getting them excited about baseball, building up there self esteem and sharing the love of Jesus and his attributes with them. They have a character lesson each practice and even great homework. It's gonna be a great season and we feel so blessed. GOOOOOOOOOO A's
