BACK TO BOSTON..so here goes round two. Many emotions, happy this will be behind us shortly, fear of an intense surgery, and yet peace knowing their is an army of prayer warriors around the country lifting our little girl up to the Holy One!
We left Quarryville at 1:55am so Grandma and Kyle are snoring in the bed next to me.  Already we are prayers, and God is answering them.
Praises:
- safe trip and travel time 6.5 hours, Kylie was either sleeping or singing, never stopped till the hospital
- productive day echo, xrays, ekg, blood work, and at least three meetings with hospital staff
- happy and healthy little girl this week (she kept saying just one more BIG surgery mom, right)

Prayer Requests:
- continued good health for Kylie/and good health for the surgeon Dr. del Nido
- a peace for the cardiac cath and MRI on Monday
- that we can be a light to the people we come in contact with

I have to share this one story from today.  We had her blood work done near the beginning of the day. There was screaming and two of us holding her down.  We were very disappointed to learn later in the day they did not get enough so back to the lab we went.  I quickly ask for prayer support to the last three people I had been texting.  As soon as we got into the lab she knew what was coming and started crying.  I was praying and trying to talk her through it.  After 15 minutes she stopped crying and said ok.  This has never happened in the past.  She patiently waited her turn we walked in and she put her arm out.  There was still tears as they searched for a vein but no struggles.  God clearly heard our cries and answered them.

A few pictures from the day...

Mrs. Ecker & Mrs. Miller see I'm doing my home work!  

A real trooper.

They look like partners in crime.

The beautiful renovations that are completed this trip.

Telling Kylie quite a few times through out the day you can pick a couple care packages tonight got her through and gave her something to look forward to.  She was all smiles.  What a blessing to family and friends for blessing her in this way.  Cards last trip were a real blessing.  When she was too sick to even watch tv she wanted me to open cards in bed with her.  If you send a card a picture of you would be great so she knows who the card came from.
