Well, we met with the surgeon, Dr. Rayburn, yesterday. I like a doctor that's confident and he surely was.

Our meeting didn't last too long but he allowed time for all our questions and actually had most of them answered before we ever got to them. We talked about different procedures and types of valves to use. The surgery is scheduled for Monday, November 26 at 8:30 am at the Arkansas Heart Hosp. in Little Rock. Tony will be in the hospital for approx. 5 days and then home recovering for approx. 4-6 weeks.

We'll have all the boys home for Thanksgiving next week! I'm so looking forward to having my family all in one place for a few days at least. The fridge is full in anticipation :)

I'll do my best to keep this updated. I may even give Tony access to it :) 

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

New International Version (NIV)

¹⁶ Rejoice always, ¹⁷ pray continually, ¹⁸ give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Thank you for your prayers in the days to come~
