After the Storm

Well my it has been quite a while since I have blogged--things are just beginning to slow down enough for me to catch my breath.
As most of you know, Jasper's pre-op was a couple of weeks ago. He was going to have his rib cartilage split so it would re-grow forming a hard surface over his heart--as his heart has no hard bone to cover it--it is just under the skin--so he has to wear a man-made hard chest protector under his clothes and not participate in sports, etc.
Well the cardiac surgeon came in and told us that Jasper would be a forever surgery kid. What? He said Jasper will be a person who will need constant heart repair, and putting a bone over his heart will just cause problems for the heart surgeon. By creating a bone to protect his heart, it will need to be split for future heart surgeries, and the surgeon doens't want to deal with that. I understand his position.
So Jasper will have to be forever careful--avoiding sports, rough activity, etc; Yes this is hard--little boys are never careful!
However, we know and believe God has a plan--and we continue to stand by our little man & believe he will indeed continue to triumph.
Thank you to all of my DEAR KINDRED SPIRITS for your prayers--we aren't out of the woods yet--but at least we have a light in the darkness--and it's in my little boy's prayers and heart shining brightly.

Sincerly,
K
