Surgery Date

Friends,

We got a call from the doctor yesterday telling us that Mason's information was presented to the surgeons and he is ready for the next stage of sugery. The surgery has been scheduled for January 12th, with a pre-operation consultation on January 9th. Our prayers are that the surgery will be great success and Mason will only have to be at the hospital for a week or less (the doctors say be prepared for two weeks). If you are curious as to what this surgery entails you can copy/past this link into your address bar. http://www.chc-pa.org/Patient_Info.cfm?ID=1078

Mason continues to do very well at home. He has a bit of a cough and some sniffles but we'll get that all cleared up before the surgery. We are very excited to getting this surgery over with, however we are very anxious as well.

Kelsey and I are doing well also, we have been enjoying our time with Mason as he begins to chatter, smile and laugh all the time. He has also been reaching and using his hands a lot, it has been so much fun watching him grow each day. God has blessed us with an incredible child and we cannot be more thankful with how things have been going.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT!!

Greg, Kelsey and Mason

10 Years....

Mason, It is amazing how time passes by in the blink of an eye after you have kids…. It seems like just yesterday, yet this week, 10 years have passed since our life was turned upside down. The day our world took a turn we never saw coming. Each year leading up to the anniversary, I get anxious, emotional, sad, scared, and angry. I WISH 10 years later I felt differently. But I don’t. It almost feels just as raw as the day we were told…. This year. I am consciously recognizing what it is… MONDAY FEBRUARY 11 th ,2008. We sat in a room where a Doctor carefully articulated and explained to us about your special heart. There is one detail about this day I have seemed to forget in time. That is the name of the doctor who told us about our fate…. I could describe to you in details about anything else you might want to know, who was there, what we were wearing, what the Doctor himself looked like and the conversation we had. Yet his name, which used to be

Loaded Diaper?!?!?

Today's post title comes to you from the one and only Greg Garka... Thanks for the idea babe! As far as Mason is concernced today was another good day for our little man! We made our goal and got up and went on a total of three walks. The last walk of the night he spotted the “playroom” and was interested so we stopped and visited with our neighbors while he played. It was the highlight of the day. His appetite decreased today but that is to be expected since he hadn’t yet had a bowel movement (in 6 days)– however about 60 minutes ago things changed in that department and I am happy to report his bowels are working and back in action… During his echo he was again a crowd pleaser and was on his best behavior. The technician said that he was the best 3 year old she has done. It is so funny; he gets upset when something is about to happen and he doesn’t understand what. He tells us he is scared and then after we explain to him what they are going to do and that it won’t hurt –

Update 7/1

Mason is out of surgery!! Kelsey and I finally got some good news. Dr. McMullen told us the surgery went as expected with no surprises. He told us Mason's heart is "vigorous" and is doing well. Hearing that word was like music to my ears. We have not been able to see him yet, but we know it will be a tough sight to see. However, we are so thankful that God has kept His hand on our little boy and got him through the first step. The next 24-48 hours will be critical for Mason as he is still at risk for several issues to arise. We will keep you posted on his progress. Praise God for His protection on our son. Greg & Kelsey
