2013: Going Out With A Bang

A couple of final Big Red Heart Days for 2013 are on our agenda.  That's how we're spending New Year's Eve and Day...living it up at the hospital!!  After open-heart surgery, sometimes, when the chest heals up, the wires used to close the chest cavity can come close to the surface of the skin, and even puncture it from the inside.  Since September, Camdyn has had a noticeable one that has become bothersome (pokes her from the inside when she leans a certain way).  X-ray discovered that there are two that are protruding, so she'll have a little surgery Tuesday morning (bright and early...yawn) to have them removed.  It's a simple procedure, small incisions, but also lab work, anesthesia, and an IV will be involved.

My Sweet Pea is looking so grown up, these days.

Would you please pray for my sweet pea?  She's nervous and scared (understandably) and would really appreciate it (as will we)!  Thanks, friends!  Your love and support this year have been off-the-charts incredible.
