Surgery

Lucas went into surgery at 230, Finally after waiting all morning! I guess the first case took a lot longer than anticipated. Lucas was such a good sport, it's a good thing he ate so much yesterday, he didn't even mention food until about 130.

We were just told that they started the operation at about 350. It takes a while to get them prepped and ready with all of the lines and such. Please keep praying for Lucas! They anticipate a 5-6 hour surgery!

I just have to share this, on the way to the hospital this morning lucas says "so, what are we going to do today after my heart surgery?"

We feel so many emotions. Scared, anxious, worried, but the strongest emotion right now is peace and gratitude that we have such a strong boy and that we are fortunate enough to be at one of the best hospitals in the world for pediatric heart surgery!!!

Lucas was so happy and in such a great rambunctious mood this morning...it filled us with faith! When we got in the car this morning I was crying and my sweet boy said, " don't cry mommy, I will be fine!"
