The DATE!

After Stockton's cath was canceled last month due to numerous illnesses he is rescheduled for June 1st. I pray that he will be healthy enough to get this procedure. We know God works in mysterious ways and every time we are thrown a curve ball we come out on top. I am sick to my stomach because we just got Stockton's third open heart surgery scheduled. The date is August 7th, 2015. To say that we are scared is an understatement. I'm terrified. We know that he needs this next surgery because he is gradually losing energy daily. His spirits are up and he is still as funny as ever. August 7th was his original due date and my parent's wedding anniversary. We have started to teach him how to calm down and find things that give him comfort. We know there are a lot of needle sticks, x-rays and procedures in his future and we are looking for ways to help him be calm. (Any suggestions would be helpful.) We are thrilled to have it finally scheduled and we hope that he is healthy enough. Thanks for thinking of him and our family. This road we are on is exhausting but filled with more happiness and joy than you will ever know.
