We Have a Date!

Today's update is that we have a date for surgery. They called us today to let us know that the surgery is scheduled for November 3rd in Rochester.

7 weeks off brings mixed feelings. 7 weeks to be able to plan and prepare is a blessing. 7 weeks of letting Timmy's heart to grow bigger to be prepared for surgery. But 7 weeks seems like a long time knowing how Timmy is struggling and has not been gaining weight.

So the opportunity to pray is to pray that the seven weeks means seven weeks of growth for Timmy. Hopefully physical growth with weight gain, but most importantly, a growth in the heart muscle to be able to tolerate the full surgery. The surgery scheduled is the Arterial banding, but the surgeon will do the full repair if he feels he can when he gets in there. We would love to have 1 surgery instead of 2, but whatever it takes to get Timmy better will be what is right.

Thanks for praying.
