"Love always wins" it is an Italian quote...The surgeon, Dr Rastelli who designed the procedure that saved our sons life had a poster hanging in his office that said "L'Amore Vince" he had all the children he saved sign that poster. He passed away and now our amazing surgeons such as Dr Gordon Cohen, a man who saved our sons life on several occasions, have used this procedure to continue to save little ones born with broken hearts

Missing kitty
Pico (Leo's new cat) has gone missing! We think he got spooked by the fireworks last night and then the rain and wind this morning. I have been searching for him all day.... Please pray he comes back! Thank you!

Mini update...
Conner is a little cranky but ate dinner and is now playing with his cards. Okay so today we came here with the hopes of them being able to fix the narrowing and make it 12mm again (it was at 4mm) if they were able to get it back to 12mm we may have been able to wait another 3-5 years for surgery. He was only able to get it to 6-8 mm. We have to come back in 3 months, they will take a look and possibly put a stent in which will buy us one year before surgery. If they decide that a stent will not work he will have open heart surgery. This is heartbreaking to say the least... Please continue to keep him in your prayers.... Thank you
Post cath Conner
Just talked with the dr, Conner did well. They were able to open the conduit, from 4mm to between 6-8 still not as wide as they need it to be, but better. They want it be around 12 mm He has to have an echo in 3 months and then they will discuss either putting in a stint or replacing the conduit, the stint would give him another year at most, if it's an option.

Conner is having cath lab on Friday at 7:15 am
Please flood the Heavens with prayers for Conner as we rapidly approach FRIDAY.... As most of you know he will be having a balloon septostomy on "the take off of his conduit" (whatever that means) please prayer for strength and fast healing that the procedure works and the pressures in his heart drop to within normal range. That the right side of his heart gets smaller and within normal range. Prayers for NO INFECTION would be wonderful too. Prayers for this procedure to work with no complications... Thank you everyone...
