Awful News

My niece (almost 2 years old) has a serious heart problem. She has a hole in her heart and also a valve that isn't working properly. The hole isn't a huge deal, but the valve will require heart surgery. This very scary for my whole family - especially Teena and Steve. She's in the hospital now, and she has started taking medication to correct her blood pressure, but we don't know when she will get the surgery. The surgery is bad for a few reasons - first heart surgeries aren't easy on anybody, grown up or small, and second because of the nature of the surgery, it's a valve replacement, so as her heart grows, she will require more surgeries when she outgrows the artificial valve....which isn't a good thing.

Anyway, keep her in your thoughts, and if your the praying type, your prayers. I'll keep you all posted.

Send Frosty and Teena our thoughts. I am sure that everything will be fine, with the marvels of modern medicine and all. Still send our wishes, never a fun thing.
