Heart cath in the morning!

Just a quick update from my phone before tomorrow’s surgery. Blaise is tucked in bed, after a swwwt prayer asking Jesus for a good surgery and good news tomorrow. We told Blaise Monday night after his tball game about his heart cath surgery. We told him the doctors would put him to sleep, take him to the operating room so they could get a better look at his heart, then he would wake up and be done. He immediately got upset crying, burying his face in the couch and saying I’m scared. We tried our best to reassure him all would be fine, and he could pick out any tractor at bomgaars when he was done. He’s steadily asked more questions especially tonight and is very anxious and nervous. He’s very concerned he’ll get a shot- which is about all a six year old can comprehend surgery means. He’s got his John Deere blanket, stuffed tiger and pillow ready to take with him.

We are dropping Sutton and Holten off at 445 am at Jessie’s, as we have to check in at 6. His procedure begins at 8. Many prayers, fears, and reassuring thoughts running through my head right now. I think all in all our family is taking it all in stride, letting the hope for positive outcomes override the incredible fear. Join us in prayer tonight. “Dear Lord Jesus, we ask that you be with Blaise and Dr. Delaney tomorrow during his heart cath. Please keep Blaise safe and calm, please use your hands to guide Dr Delaneys and please let the surgery be successful with no complications, or unwanted discoveries. God, please provide us with excellent news. Amen”
