Andrew just went in for his surgery. it is about 2pm.... they said to expect it to go till 7 or 8 possibly. the 'extra layer of complexity to the surgery" (which is the clogged veins) is what is prompting the urgency of the operation. I will update this blog sometime tonight after the surgery is done and we see how well he did. Please continue the prayers. Pray for Bess too, she is having a extra hard time with this with the addition of the post pardum emotions/stress. Something I cannot relate to, but I just know that it is one additional stress..... so we will keep you up to date...
