May 23 is here

Two months have gone by since we found out Joseph needed another open heart surgery.  It has been a long process but we are finally at the surgery day.  The process is stressful on a family but it also provides some incredible insight.  Faith is strengthened, family gets closer and perspective is completely changed. Our conversations lately are not normal.  We try to keep things normal but eventually conversations focus on Joseph.  It is a humbling experience as so many friends offer prayers and support.  Again---we are so very grateful.

With the surgery being at noon it is tough on a kid as they cannot eat after midnight. To help Joseph we had an early dinner at five and then a "Pancake Party" at 9PM.  It was a bit unusual to be cooking pancakes at that time, but hopefully it will get him through a no breakfast morning.  Here is a picture from Joseph's special meal.


Next up---8:15 mass,

God Bless,

Kenny
