May you see the face of God and recieve Jesus Christ as your savior before you breath your last breath. If you have never trusted Christ, I would love to share with you what he has done in my life and how you can be his child as well.

We are heading home! I am amazed at how God has given the skill and talent to men and women to be able to repair a heart and to do it so uninvasive! He had 2 stints put in and is in no pain. The worse pain was when they removed the bandages and the irritation from the breathiing tube during surgery. We are so blessed.

I am sitting in Ri's room watching him go in and out of sleep. He just ate some mac and cheese and we are praying that it stays down. He is doing great and really being a trooper. I am so grateful!
But as I sit here watching my son, I remembered that I had not posted that on Monday, he turned 6 years old! My, has time flown! He was very excited to turn 6 and to be older then Elizabeth and Sara. That was the big thing... He was now 6 and Elizabeth and Sara were still 5. When I woke him up, I sang "happy birthday" to him. He giggled his sweet precious giggle. Then he asked me if he was 6. I told him yes, to which he replied "am I six right now?". I told him yes and he put his hands to his face and giggled his wonderful, sheepish, contagous giggle. Then he asked me, with great excitement, "Do you know what Mrs. Ewers gives someone who has a birthday?" Mrs. Ewers is his kindergarten teacher. I said no. So he smiled a great big huge smile and with all the enthusiasm he could, he said "A card and it says "happy birthday". He thought that it was the coolest gift he could receive. For me, that was priceless. We made cupcakes for school and dropped them off. When he got home from school, he proudly presented his card from Mrs. Ewers and one from Ms. Kelly. They were prize possessions. Then he pulled out a pencil and asked me if I knew what it said. He read it with a great big smile. It said: Happy Birthday from your principal. His day had been perfect with just two cards and a pencil. It thrilled me!
We made a cake and had a small birthday party with our family, Jacob, and Uncle Paul. Ri was delighted. He thinks it is pretty cool to be 6.

Ri's heart procedure
We are sitting at Children's in the waiting room. It is neat to look around and see so many people who love him. I have had many text messages, emails, and facebook from friends who love us and love our son. It is overwhelming to know so many people care.
God is amazing.... no matter what the outcome is, but.. thankfully.. I can say he is amazing because the news is all good. Ri is in the middle of the procedure right now. THey are placing a "big boy" stint in each of his pulmonary arteries (2). This morning, the doctor was not sure if he would be able to place the stints in and open up the artery so that the blood flow can flow more freely. Right now, due to the narrowing, the blood is backing up in his chamber and causing more pressure then it should.
I will type more later. Our pastor just arrived and we need to talk to him. Thanks for the prayers!
