Surgery scheduled

Andrew's next heart surgery is scheduled for Monday. They will come get him around 7:30am and it will probably take until about 2-3pm. They will complete the second phase surgery that is usually completed around 4-6 months old & in addition they will be widening the sections of his pulmonary veins that have narrowed. Our hope is that this will take care of his pulmonary veins for good - that they don't narrow again. It's a big surgery, but we are hoping Andrew will have a much more stable circulation after his recovery. The mortality rate for this surgery is about 3-5%, so much better odds than his first heart surgery, but then again we know Who is really in control. Please keep the prayers coming! And we will keep you updated more frequently as the surgery and recovery progress. Thank you all for everything!

We'll be praying for all of you on Monday, heck, we won't wait till then to start.... We love you guys and hold you all very close to our hearts. I 'm beginning to believe that our computer knows to go to your blog every time it starts up. Your boy looks terrific and definitely looks like he's on track developmentally. he'll catch up with the motor stuff once his heart can keep up. We look forward to coming down to see you once all are home. we love you lots
