Mike and I won't be around on Monday or Tuesday, Adam is going to be having heart surgery.
I haven't really shared this with anyone here, but he was born with a heart defect, called pulmonic valve stenosis. A valve leading to his lungs did not open fully, and over the last 14 months the turbulance in his heart has gotten worse. So the doctors have decided it is time to fix it.
He will be catheter surgery through an artery in his leg, to fix the problem.
I have been assured he will be fine. But I am still scared beyond belief. I love this little man so much.
So we are going to the hospital on monday to have the surgery, if you could spare a few prayers for us we woudl be very grateful.
May God keep your fears in check and surround you and yours in his love. Keep your faith and just love your child and all will be well.
Sincerely,
Unionblue

Ami, Shane is right. the things that the medical people can do these days are out of this world. There is no need to worry. Also along with Shane,s I will send my prays his way.
I'm not much into prayers. Too many times seen them go to waste, but I do have a good feeling for intuition, and it is mine that that boy is going to be alright, I can feel that.
Love,
sam

Will be waiting for good news on Tuesday. Adam was created in answer to many prayers; a kindly Providence will certainly keep him with you.
