Just a few things....

I just wanted to take some time and ask for prayer.  If you've read one of  my previous posts, you know that Griffin has different things that we are having to see specialists about.  He is a pretty healthy baby in the grand scheme of things.  However, he will be getting tubes put in his ears on April 2nd.  We actually just went to the doctor today to find out that he had an ear infection in both ears (poor baby).  That is his 4th and 5th, if you count both ears, in 6 weeks.  Actually, the next issue is what is causing the ear infections.  

The next issue is his head.  He has ALWAYS preferred his left side.  When I say always, we were told that this must have been how he laid inside me.  Now, after trying multiple things, his head is still misshapen.  SO, he is going to be wearing a STAR band.  It's like a helmet to reshape the head. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but we were told that the bone structure of his skull has developed a "memory" and has started to grow that way, thus affecting the anatomy of his ears causing the multiple ear infections.  SO, not only will it fix the shape of his head, it will help, along with the tubes, his ears.  

I'm asking for prayer for these issues with Griffin, but also asking for prayer for our finances.  Thank the Lord for insurance, but it still doesn't cover everything.  We are currently waiting on insurance approval for the STAR band.  We appreciate your prayers on everything!
