1 day to go

Not much going on today. We have been trying to spend as much time as possible with our little guy before his big day tomorrow. He has had some visitors throughout the day which has been nice. He is a little fussier today because the poor guy has not eaten yet. He is starting to get pretty hungry. They are in doing an echo-cardiogram right now and with it should come some mild sedation. I think this will be good and help calm him down a little. His Uncle Jon and Aunt Angi came to visit and he enjoyed meeting them. I have spoken with both Dr. Su (our cardiologist) and Dr. Kaza (the surgeon) today. They walked us through the procedure again and answered our questions. I feel so blessed to have my son treated by such talented people. They have been both compassionate and realistic with us which we really appreciate. Right now we are just bracing ourselves to see our cute little baby come out of surgery tomorrow with an open chest and wires everywhere. Spending time with him it is easy to pretend nothing is wrong. I sat and watched him this morning and wondered if he really only had half a heart. He does and so we will put our trust in the Lord and these great people who he has blessed with such talent to take care of him. Your thoughts and prayers are very much appreciated and we tell Jackson all the time about all of the people who are looking out for him.
