This month is a busy one for our family. Last Saturday my sister Christy got married. It was a wonderful day and I am so happy for her. I have tons of pictures that I will share later. It was so good to go to the temple and be there with a lot of my family. I needed it in so many ways to help prepare me for everything. Next Thursday, Aug. 14th, Kyson will be going in to PCH again for a heart cath. It is supposed to be just a one day procedure to see how his heart is working. They will inject die into his heart and watch how his blood is flowing. This will help the doctors know how to proceed for his next surgery. If all goes well he will have his second surgery on Tuesday Aug. 26th. In this surgery they will take out the shunt and the band they had to put in for the first surgery and they will take his superior vena cava and hook it directly up to his pulmonary artery. In other words all of the blood from the top half of his body will go directly to his lungs rather then to his heart and then his lungs. Eventually all of his blood will have to do this (go from his body directly to his lungs and then to his heart) since he really only has a two chamber heart instead of four.
Kyson has been doing really well lately and I have to admit it is very difficult to have to start the whole surgery process over again. I am dreading it in every way. Last surgery I know we had people praying for us everywhere. It was such a strength to us and we felt so much comfort from our Heavenly Father. As his surgery approaches I would like to ask again for all of your prayers, especially for Kyson. That is what got us through the first one and I know it will get us through this surgery as well. We feel blessed to have so many family members and friends who have helped us out so much. We love you all so very much.
