Only One Son – In the Line of Duty

Greetings…

Barb’s cardiac catheterization went ok… it showed that the leaky valve is severe and needs to be repaired (or replaced)… thanks for prayer…

We met with the surgeon at 11 AM (Tuesday) in Albany for consultation as to when for the open heart surgery to repair her leaky valve… it’s scheduled for November 17th in Albany Medical Center, at 7:30 AM… the doctor said that he will try to do this through an incision under her rib cage. If this is fails, he then will have to open the sternum (breastbone). Thank you for your prayers.

We then left for VA, and daughters Deb and Ginny, and their families… Barb stayed with the girls and I went alone to Little Rock – Friday to Monday is the COPS annual Parents’ Retreat… 205 scheduled – biggest group of hurting parents to date… appreciate your prayer… thanks!

By His Grace,

Barb and Ray
