Off to the O.R.

Alex went in to surgery just before 8:00. He was happy as could be to go. He loves the wagon rides and was excited to get bubble gum in his mask. Gary and I were not quite as excited as Alex was. We feel kind of guilty that he's so excited, but has no idea really of what is to come. He met Dr. Kaza before surgery and knows he is going to fix his heart. Alex is excited to have a "sleepover" at the hospital. I'm pretty sure that by tonight, he'll want his sleepover to be done! Poor kid!

We know that all is well. We know that Alex is surrounded by many angels, who are keeping watch over him while he is in there.

We will update when we hear more. Dr. Kaza said to plan on about 4-5 hours for surgery, and when he's done he'll be out to talk with us.

Thank you for all of the prayers. Please keep them coming!!

He looks pretty worried this morning, doesn't he?

This morning while getting ready I was this thinking about the preparation you were going through as you were sending your little man off to surgery. May peace be with you and your family as Alex gets his heart *fixed* today. So many emotions involved. . .just keep breathing! Will be checking back through out the day for updates and just know you all are in my thoughts and prayers.
