Claire's 3rd tour of duty

The alarm rang early this morning. What is it about waking up in the 4's that is so bad? I guess I can handle 4:50.
We arrived safe and sound at Nationwide in time and were welcomed by our good friend and Children's Minister at Lifepoint Church - Marc Shields. Colton just loves Marc. He shared a scripture from Phil 4:4 and prayed with us as we started this long day.
Claire will be having the last of three heart surgeries that works to reroute all deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. The previous surgery took care of the blood from the upper part of her body. This one will route the blood from the lower body to the pulmonary artery. In addition, Dr. G will try to tighten up her heart value to assist with the negative pressure needed to help blood flow into the lungs to get oxygen before moving to the heart and then providing the needed oxygen to her cells throughout her body.
As always, we appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
