Gettin ready for round two...

Okay...we enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving here at the house with both sides of our family. We are now looking ahead to this coming week. Lia's next heart surgery is scheduled for this coming Thursday, Dec. the 4th. We will spend the day at Children's on Wednesday to do alot of preop testing and then back on Thursday for the surgery. We are expected to spend one or two nights in the CVICU and then hopefully only around a week in all at CMC. Obviously, this is what we have known would be in our future now for months, but it is with definite mixed feelings that we move forward with this. It's really something to send your baby through those surgery doors and into the hands of others. We know the staff at Children's will do a fantastic job of taking care of her, and we know God will guide the hands of Dr. Forbess. Hopefully the anticipation of the day of surgery will be worse than the actual day. Please continue all the powerful prayers for Lia. Please continue to pray for our entire family...it is stressful to all of us. We have so much to be thankful for this Holiday season. Thank you all for remembering us. We will keep you posted as we can this Thursday. Love to you all....

One of the pictures I've posted this time are of Lia and our pediatrician, Dr Smart at her 4 month check up. She checked out perfectly. The other is just a precious pic of a precious girl...
