Packing......Again

Well it is almost time to start packing again. We leave for STL Wednesday afternoon. The second surgery is here and it is so scary to have to goes through it all again. I look at pictures from his first surgery and it makes me sick to my stomach. I know that what he is going through is going to help him, but it sure doesn't make it any easier to see him like that. We have gotten so much support from everyone, it has been so overwhelming. Not only from friends, family and co-workers, but from total strangers. We know that the God's prayer lines are crammed full of requests for Damon and his heart. That has been the most rewarding and humbling thing, is for people don't even know you or your son say that they will be praying for you. The thing that we are looking most forward to after this surgery is to let people see him. I know a lot of people are eager to see him and we are happy to show off our little miracle.
In this Easter season we need to give God the glory for what he has done in our lives and in the lives of our kids. Before Damon was born, I used to take small things for granted, like healthy kids. I know that is a small thing, but now with Damon it is such a big thing. Please thank God everyday for things he has allowed us to have. We can see through Damon's life he is still performing miracles even today. Please continue to pray for us to exercise our faith and to keep Damon healthy between now and Friday.
Please also lift up the Tyson and Jenny Adams family. Sarah has mentioned them before on here, but they have a little baby boy, Hayden. who was born three weeks after Damon and also has HLHS. Hayden's second surgery was scheduled for April 19th, but when they went up for his heart cath, they decided to do his surgery on Monday. It has been a rough week for this family and for ours knowing that in a few days we will be right there with them. Please lift them up in your prayers and remember baby Hayden.
