The GOOD, the BAD, and the UGLY!!

Do you want the good news or the bad news?!?
The BAD news is that MUSC called this morning and Jackson's surgery has been bumped to JULY 2, 2009. They have had an abundance of "heart" babies to be born and waiting to be born that require emergency surgery.
The GOOD news is that OUR "heart" baby is no longer the one who is the emergency nor is he the one bumping other kids out of surgery. We've been on that side of the fence and believe me the view is much better from where we are now! So for now, we'll sit back and enjoy another month of no surgery, no hospitals, etc. and enjoy our 3 year old "little blessing" that God has given us.

Live Well, Love Much, Laugh Often and ...PRAY HARD!

On the Countdown!!

Jackson's surgery is still planned for May 29. Hard to believe that we leave in 2 weeks!! We had a pretty neat thing happen yesterday... Darrin has been taking Jackson to the kids workshops at Lowes and Home Depot (HD) a couple of months now. Two weeks ago they went to the HD workshop and the lady asked him if he was coming next month. Darrin explained to her about his upcoming surgery and Jackson showed her his "Jesus kisses" (aka battle wounds). She told Jackson that she would save him a project from next months workshop (since it will be for Father's Day). Yesterday we got a call from the lady who does the workshops at HD. She told Darrin that Jackson had touched her so much and that she couldn't get him off of her mind, and wanted to know if HD could make a basket for him to take to Charleston with him filled with HD goodies and projects for him to do while he heals.What an awesome thing!

Please continue to remember us in your prayers!!
