We Have a Date!

Scheduling finally called for Natalie's heart catheterization. She's scheduled for the second case on July 29th. It does seem like a long time out, but I am just thankful for a date. The huge God thing is that we will hopefully get to see our "heart friends" Joshua and his mom Leah. Joshua was scheduled for a cath in May, but came down with a fever a couple of hours before so his cath had to be rescheduled...on July 29th! God is so good. It's been a long time since Leah and I have gotten to talk and it will be so good to see her again. Joshua and Natalie haven't met each other yet, but I hope they will hit it off.

Thank you to those who have been praying. I've been at peace a little more since unloading last week. We can't do this alone...we need others to help bear our burdens.

Natalie has recovered from her cold and is back to her normal self. She is learning to tease and it's so fun to see her happy and interacting with her siblings. As we follow other children going through their Fontan surgeries, I've been introducing the facts of her next surgery coming up. When we discuss her heart, she gets this little gleam in her eyes because she knows that this part of her life is so uniquely her and no one else can take that away. (We've been struggling with sharing lately.) I have a really cute video of her talking about her heart and who fixed her heart but it's too large to upload to my blogger page. If anyone has any ideas of how to do this, I'd appreciate your help. I know it's been done before. I'm just not that in with technology.
