Don't be alarmed because it's not as bad as it sounds, but Bob and Emily both need to have small procedures done within the next few weeks. Emily has had a string of bad ear infections over the last 6 months. She failed her hearing test several times in her right ear. I had never noticed a lack of hearing, but on the day she failed her first test, she called Bob at work to tell him about it. She was holding the phone to her right ear and all I heard her say was, "What? What did you say? What?" It was really quite comical!! So, she is going to have tubes put into her ears on the 5th of September. It is about a 10 minute procedure, but she will have to go under anesthesia. We are praying that this will clear up her hearing problems and alleviate further ear infections.
Bob is having surgery on September 24th. He needs to have a cyst removed from his wrist. It is a harmless cyst, but has grown to bother him enough to get it cut out. As a kid, he broke his wrist pretty bad...pins sticking out and everything...and the doctor said that it is common for cysts to grow where an injury like that occurred. So he will have that taken care of and hopefully be able to return to doing surgery a few days later.
In spite of these minor procedures, we do thank God for the great health He has blessed us with. Throughout the course of Bob's training we have seen and heard of people who deal with injury and disease on a daily basis. Good health is something we take for granted.

God bless both Emily and Bob as they undergo these procedures. We will pray for good outcomes in both cases. Good reminder to be thankful for our health when we often take the lack of major problems for granted.
How is your pregnancy going? I noticed there were no pictures of you doing cliff diving in the Poconos!
