Can You Hear Me Now????

Most of you have probably heard, but Cory's Ear Surgery went fairly smoothly. He did really well with his IV and anesthesia. The Dr. came out after surgery, which ended up being 40 minutes longer than they had planned and explained what I understand as this. Just as was suspected, Cory did suffer damage to the joint that joins the incus and another bone underneath his ear drum. They were able to go in through his ear canal instead of cutting...Praise God no incision. He attempted to stabilize the joint as he said the bones were moving around WAY too much. That is why Cory has conductive hearing loss. I think he told me that he may have tried to apply some glue???? Things are a little blurry for me too as these last few days have been quite tiresome. All in all, there was not a whole lot to be done, but the doctor did manipulate the area in hopes that maybe some scar tissue will form and add structure to the area. I know God can touch this and help restore his hearing. Cory has has very little pain and was even able to enjoy going to Michael and Mandy's tonight and Fellowship with the McGee's as well. We will follow up on Thursday and hope to get more of a plan of action and what to do from here idea. Until then, Cory has to keep his ear dry and he is still having some drainage from the packing the doctor used. Cory is saying things are uncomfortable and we are praying that maybe this will change as the area heals. Please continue to pray that he will be able to endure the weird sensations until it heals or we see the doctor. Meredith has been a trooper with all the different places she has been this week. THANK GOD FOR AUNT LINDSEY AND UNCLE GENE who once again so willingly kept Meredith and helped us out so much pre and post surgery. They are a blessing sent from above and we sure have enjoyed getting together more now that summer school is out!!!! We love you guys. I can't wait to return the favor when Avery gets here in October. I am praying God will work it out for me to have her 1 or 2 days a week!!! I am REALLY looking forward to it. No new pictures yet, but I will say HAPPY BIRTHDAY 25th Lindsey and Happy Fourth to you all!!!
