Thanking God

This evening I am thanking our loving God for blessing surgeons and other related medical personnel with the talents, knowledge, passion and wisdom required to sustain the life of a young man who endured a long day of reconstructive heart surgery beginning this morning.

  3. Paul and family, I just want you to know that you are truly amazing. There is no doubt in my mind that have a specific role and mission here on earth and that is why our gracious Heavenly Father helped in finding a heart for you. And that He is the one helping those amazing surgeons who help assist in His work here on earth. We have met you once at Primary's when you were in for testing and our little Burke was in for a heart Cath. It was way back in May of last year so you probably dont even remember me- which is totally understandable since you meet sooo many people all the time. You are welcome to check out our blog. I update it about our son who was born with Double outlet Right ventricle and who has had 4 open heart surgeries 3 of which were performed by Dr. Kouretas, Dr. Hawkins, and Dr. Kaza at Primary's. They are incredible people and there are revered at our home. You are truly an incredible person as well and me and my family check you blog often. I am so grateful all the things that you can do know with your new heart. It gives me hope because our little guys received his full repair- the Rastelli procedure last December and he is doing things he could never do before or never wanted to do because he knew- even though he was young- his limitations his body had. Thank you for continuing this blog it is an inspiration to say the least. Your music is as well. I have a few CD's and that is our "Sunday music" according to our children. I love it. Sorry for the long post, I truly am grateful for you and your dear family, you have been through so much and have endured well. Check out our blog if you like. tylerandracheljohnson.blogspot.com
