Why am I doing this blog?

I decided to publish this blog for three reasons:

1.  To give people an easily accessible means of knowing how to pray for us.

2.  Because I want to have some kind of memoir of this wild time.

3.  I benefited so much from other blogs who gave me play by plays of their child's heart surgery.  I wanted to be another resource for others who may need that encouragement.

I intend on publishing a lot during the surgery on November 6 and the following week or so we'll be in the hospital.
