Update on Michael...

Michael is having open heart surgery at noon today at Children's Medical Ctr of Dallas. After looking at his heart with the camera, M's cardiologist didn't feel comfortable using the cath to repair his ASD - it is up to 19mm in some places & he has very little supportive tissue to hold the device in place. So open heart surgery is the option. Thank you for your prayers :)

Thanksgiving Fun

I took so many pics at Thanksgiving! I just couldn't decide which ones to post so I'm doing a photo-overload post :) We had a great time in Lewisville with A's family. On Tuesday we met with M's new heart dr. at Dallas Childrens & are happy to report that we loved her & feel much better about everything - his procedure is scheduled for this Thursday, 12/6 at Dallas Childrens. On Tuesday night I got to have some girl time - Candice, Ikea & Mexican food - 3 of my favorites :-) On Wednesday the weather was warm & perfect for playing outside - croquet was popular, as usual. We are THRILLED that Matt, Amanda & Henry have recently moved to Lewisville - our first Thanksgiving with them! It was so great!! On Friday I got to have even more girl time - yipee! Michael & I drove to Arlington to see Carrie & her kiddos for some fun visiting, playing & a quick trip to Hobby Lobby :)

just chillin'
