This is my amazing sister, Jana, her husband, Scott, and their little boy, Isaac. Aren't they beautiful together? Isaac also has four older siblings. This little peanut gets loads of loves! I have to admit that ever since I got the text that her water had broke early one morning not too long ago, I have been super antsy to meet him and shower him with hugs and kisses. Hey, I am an aunt, that is what we do!
Today I got a different text. Little Isaac, at 23 days old, was admitted into their Children's Hospital in preparation for surgery on his tiny little heart.
At his two week appointment, his pediatrician heard a murmur. He told my sister that she should have him see a cardiologist to make sure all was well. She got right in and had an echocardiogram this morning followed by a cardiology consult this afternoon. They found out this perfect little man has Truncus Arteriosus and a Ventricular Septal Defect. They immediately told my sister that he needed to be admitted to monitor his oxygen saturation, weight gain, and possible surgery within the week. Later she texted me that surgery is now scheduled for Wednesday. This all came as quite a shock.
Now if any of you who used to follow my munchkins progress before we fell off the face of the bloggy world still happen to read this, pray for this family. My sister and I are separated by thousands of miles now and I want so much to be there with her. But one thing I know, distance does not dampen the power of Faith and Prayer. Please join me and my family as we send our love, our faith, and our prayers to this amazing family!

Sending prayers their way
I'm praying too...
I hope all went well with the surgery. We, too, have fallen off the face of the blogging world lately--I'm sorry to hear about all this. We keep you guys in our prayers all the time.
