Tuesday evening

Sorry it took so long to blog today. Steve went home to do some work & I was too busy hanging out with Andrew. The cardiac cath is scheduled for tomorrow around 11am, but there is a chance it will have to be put off until Thursday due to technical issues with the cath lab. We will let you know. Andrew wasn't able to tolerate further weining of the narcotic / anti-anxiety meds, which is a bit of a bummer, but he was pretty agitated before they reajusted it & the poor kid just dosn't have the reserves to be too upset. He gained a little more weight, up to 3.84 kg, this morning. Also, he's still the cutest thing ever.
On another note, our eldest, Tusk (our 2-year old Rottweiller) also needs surgery. Knee surgery for him. It's scheduled for this friday. Also, please add our Grandma Dottie to your prayer list. She just isn't doing so hot. Thank you for your continued prayers for Andrew. At this point it looks like he will probably be in the hospital until after he has his next heart surgery in a few months. We can't tell you how much it means to have such a wonderful support system in you all. We are so blessed!

Can I help with Tusk at all? I don't think it will matter if I am stuffy with him. I'm sorry I didn't know 'Steve was going to be home, I would have gotten your gifts and cards to you from NC.
You two are such blessings to me. I love you and that beautiful boy. Mom

We've been thinking about and praying for you everyday--Zoe and Base have the cutest prayer they say at night...they say, God bless Mommy, Daddy, Zoe, Bamse, and Andrew..." Isn't that cute. They added him in there all by themselves. Ahh the love of a dog. Zoe will be seeing Jesus very soon, and she promises to have a nice long sit down when she gets there & put in an extra good word for Andrew.
We love you and miss you ver much!

Mom forgot to add that we are praying for Tusk's surgery (and Grandma too). If he needs any PT rehab companions, let us know.
