hello folks,
We found out late last week that my soon to be 8 year old daughter, Abby, will need open heart surgery to have a hole in her heart repaired. It is between the upper and lower chambers. If not repaired, she would eventually have more enlargement of the right ventricle, and ultimately have fatal lung complications. sometime in her twenties, most probably.
It is not life threatening at the moment, but we hope to have it done sometime this fall or next spring.
Among other things, this will likely result in my bowing out of the fall Bison hunt.
besides all that, I am also going through looking for a new church again. Something closer to home, and not so eager to bind one's conscience contrary to my understanding of the Bible.
We have also had some water shortage, and have learned about doing wash by filling up a bucket, using a new plunger to agitate, then using the washer for spinning only.
My wife has been wonderful, as always! It seems that in addition to the dry weather, the water system had been programmed to back flush too frequently. That has been corrected, and the situation has gotten a bit better.
Not complaining, just explaining!
Thanks for listening, and for your prayers. The prospect of having my only little girl on a heart machine for several hours makes me feel uneasy, even though the procedure is not uncommon!
