I'm sure a lot of you already know this but last week Jared got asked to come to his first interview for PA school!!! We are THRILLED, because it is to AT Still the school here in Mesa on Recker and Baseline so we wouldn't have to move. We applied to about four other schools that we are still waiting to hear from.
We are really hoping to get into school this coming year because we would like to get through the first very difficult year before Kyson's third surgery. Of course we aren't sure when the third surgery will be, but from what Dr. Alhadheri has told me, they want to push it back as long as possible. If Jared got in this year Kyson would turn three at the end of his first year and this surgery will more than likely be when he is three or four.
Jared's interview will be Oct. 16th. It seems like a long way away but I'm sure it'll come fast. Wish us luck!!!

Yay for Jared. I'll be thinking good thoughts and ya Oct will be here before you know it! I was at Target yesterday and they already had Halloween candy out. CRAZY!
That is so fantastic! I love it when things all come together, we will certainly keep you in our prayers and be sending happy thoughts your way!
GOOD LUCK!!! Wouldn't it be nice to stay put and not worry about relocating?
No need to ask for wishes of good luck from over here becuase you KNOW we've been hoping and praying for this kind of happy news for FOREVER! We are so glad to have the Gunnell's in our life - in fact I just try not to think about the day when we ever have to move apart... let's just hope that day NEVER comes :) Congrats and... well GOOD LUCK!
I really, really hope he gets in! I know this has been a long road for you guys. It gives me hope that Lincoln might have an interview somewhere someday. Ha ha.
Hi I wanted to answer your question about Libbi. Yes this is her first surgery. She has a heart cath at 6 weeks then another one about a month ago. Her condition is complicated (which most heart babies are!) She has Ebsteins, which is no valves in her RV, a small RV but then she also has a VSD between her right and left ventricles. This makes it possible for the left side to pump the blood out to the lungs through the VSD. If the VSD wasn't there she would be alot worse off because that RV does not do anything meaning no blood would be getting pumped out to the lungs. When she was born the VSD was very large causing too much blood out to the lungs, she was very pink. They even thought about doing a banding surgery to control the excess blood. As she grows and the hole gets smaller, less blood gets pumped out to the lungs, causing her to need the surgery. Does that make any sense at all??? I hope so, it's really confusing but that is why she hasn't needed anything yet. She may be considered HRHS after the Glenn because they are shutting all blood flow off to that right side. I need to ask about that.
On a side note, our 5 year old boy is named Koy, he was almost named Kyson! I love that name but we decided Kyson Dixon rhymed to much!! Cute boy, i hope all is well sorry for the long comment!! Email me mindidixon@msn.com if you want!!
