Update on Ethan

Ethan went to the cardiologist this week and we now have a date for the heart catheterization, August 11th. It will most likely be a one night hospital stay since he will be under general anesthesia. They are doing this to map out his heart exactly to prepare for surgery. This will help the surgeons decide what needs to be done and just how many surgeries it will take to do it.

This is where we ask all of you to start praying again. God has answered your prayers so far and we have truly been blessed. Please pray that they find Ethan's heart in a state that requires just the one open heart complete repair and no other surgeries. He is a strong little man but he is still so small. He is really growing well but it seems so wrong to operate on such a wee one. Also pray for me that I can be strong for "Eefan" while he goes through this (we all have taken to calling him that because its how Abby says it).

Thank you, friends. -h
