Sierra’s Surgery

My blog posts have been a little sporadic recently, but our family has been a little pre-occupied the last few days. We’ve been taking care of our youngest child “Princess” Sierra (4) who had open-heart surgery to patch two holes and remove a muscle bundle.

I’m really happy to report that Sierra’s surgery on Tuesday was completely successful and she’s been recovering wonderfully at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas. Literally hundreds of people have been praying for us and we’ve felt every prayer enveloping and sustaining us. Beth and I both are eternally grateful for such wonderful friends, family, and coworkers who have surrounded and supported us through this experience.

God is truly a great God and we give Him all the praise, glory, and honor.

I Twittered pretty heavily on Tuesday and Wednesday reporting updates throughout the surgery and recovery. They can be found at either my @christianjava Twitter feed directly or an expanded version, with Facebook friend comments, over on my Facebook profile.

Sierra’s long-term prognosis is excellent. She’ll continue to be monitored, but we don’t expect to need any more surgeries or treatments.
