Logan's Surgery

We met with the surgeons today and scheduled Logan's surgery. The date of the surgery will be Tuesday, Jan 25. His surgery will be first thing in the morning at about 7:15. The surgery will take approx 4 hours. The surgeons think he will only be in the hospital 5-8 days, as long as everything goes well, which they are anticipating it will. They also said that when he comes home he will be acting just like a normal little boy. That just amazes me that he could bounce back so quickly.

I feel better knowing we have a date because it's not still unknown. But having a date puts it into reality that it is really going to happen. Rowdy and I both feel a lot more confident since talking to the surgeons. We found out that one of the surgeons Dr. Nikaidoh, is 76 and still runs 3 miles every morning. He knows what he is doing, he has over 40 years experience and even has a pediatric cardiac procedure named after him. The other surgeon, Dr. Barth, has over 25 years experience. Dr. Nikaidoh, Dr. Barth and their PA who runs the heart/lung machine have been working together for over 25 years.

A good friend took some picture of Logan's chest pre-surgery/pre-scar. She is an amazing photographer and I am so happy with our pictures.

O Lord, you alone are my hope. I've trusted you, O Lord, from childhood. Yes, You have been with me from birth; from my mother's womb you have cared for me. No wonder I am always praising you! My life is an example to many because you have been my strength and protection, that is why I can never stop praising You. I declare your glory all day long.
Psalm 71:5-7
