WooHoo! Only 1 month between posts! Look at us go! :-)
I spoke to our cardiology office today and they have tentatively scheduled David's heart cath for June 21. We say tentatively b/c the cardiologist may want to check the ECS (Electrical Conduction System - electrical pulses that regulate heartbeats) of his heart. If that's the case, it requires a bit more of an in-depth cath, which won't be possible until sometime in July. Either way, they are shooting for 4-6 weeks after the cath to do the actual surgery. So, by the end of the summer, we will (hopefully) be done with the whole "jimmy rigging" of David's heart. Given, we don't really know what's going to happen after that, but we knew this was a 3-stage surgery process. It will be a relief for it to be done. And then a whole new set of worries come in. But, I'm not in a dwelling-on-the-dark-side mood, so we will skip all the "what ifs" for now.
Every day I am more and more astonished at how anything gets done around here. I know I'm a bit biased, but he is one cute kid. He's becoming such a little man and growing into his personality. He's so much fun!
So, at the end of April, my awesome friends and sister volunteered to run in the Nashville Rock N Roll marathon series in honor of and to raise $ for David and his medical bills. Peggy & Susan ran the 1/2 marathon - they were awesome! Since I'm such a slacker, I knew I wasn't prepared for that. So, I did the mini-marathon. And I convinced some friends and my sister to switch too! So there were 2 rock stars (Peg & Susan) and 4 weenies (me, Sister, Lee, & Jamie). :-)
I would like to give a big thanks to all of our supporters and those who donated to our TeamDavidHayes fund! We raised $675!! Woohoo!
Here's a pic of David & Drew cheering everyone on:
Well, I had more pics, but my stupid internet doesn't like to reach upstairs, so I can't upload them...I guess you'll have to wait for the next blog! Here's hoping it won't be too long! :-)
Night, all!
