thoughts on my angel

       Today I found out when Cody's heart surgery will be- October 28, 2010. I am scared, but after watching a video from the Philadelphia Hospital, it does comfort me. I know God will be watching over the surgeons and Cody, but it is surgery! It's heartbreaking to know he has to go through it but it will be to his benefit that he will be healthier and have a healthy life. 
      It's emotional to know your child has to go through something far more than I ever experienced. It's reassuring to have family and  friends to support us as we go through this  journey with Cody. In fact, Cody will be baptized next Sunday which will be such a wonderful day as he is welcomed into God's family.  Every day is a blessing to have him in our lives. I even see how he blesses Jeremy as he is affectionate and helps me by putting a blanket under his bassinet or bringing me the Boppy.  Please continue to pray for Cody and our family.

Nervous!

        I know I need to trust God, but my mind is on Cody's heart surgery in October. I'm nervous because he's so tiny- how can such a little baby have heart surgery? He has a condition called Tetrology of Fallot where he doesn't get enough oxygen going to the lungs. In fact, we are visiting UCSF medical center this upcoming week.  It is relieving to know that he won't have a blue spell afterwards, but to have your child to go through such a MAJOR thing is just scary! Please pray for my little guy, he's had no blue spells so far! I have definitely felt the prayers!
