Roxanne,
I just had a moment to read your story, thank you very much for the verse below, I\'m heading into OHS, in the near future hopefully by mid-June, and it has been an emotional rollercoaster, but that verse really puts it in perspective, I too can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. You was sent by God to renew my strength this morning, thank you very much...continue to take one day at a time, and keep encouraging everyone, God has a plan for you.
Phlippians 4;13 - I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
Thanks again,
Don L

Hi Roxanne:
My 13-year old son, Lucian, had his pulmonary valve replaced on September 14. Reading your journal gives us such hope that he will return to \'normal\' after recovery. I\'m so happy that you are able to begin running again.
I wanted to share something with you. My husband and I took turns staying overnight with Lucian in the hospital. I stayed the first night. Lucian was in excruciating pain. He kept getting a terrible pain in both of his shoulders. It was scary to see him in such pain. The nurses and doctors were puzzled. They did an ECG and gave him morphine. Nothing seemed to help. He suffered for over two hours. I was quietly panicking thinking that something was terribly wrong.
Lucian said, \"Mom I think they made a mistake...I think something is wrong and I just want to go home.\" I whispered into his ear to pray to Jesus and ask for some relief from the pain. I sat at the end of his bed an began praying to Jesus and the Blessed Mother. I felt that the Blessed Mother would intercede. A peace came over the room and within 5 minutes Lucian was peacefully sleeping...no more pain. From that time on he only needed Advil and Tylenol for pain.
He is home 3 weeks now and hasn\'t had any pain whatsoever! I have read your journal and feel your strong faith in our Lord above. We stand with you in our faith and praise our heavenly Father for his blessings.
Thank you for getting in touch with us through Lucian\'s journal...we will continue to read your journal postings.

Hi Roxanne,
I was happy to see that you are progressing so well and that your wire situation is resolving. You have certainly needed faith to carry you through.
Twenty months ago at the age of 51, I underwent a mitral valve replacement. It was also my second time around. My first surgery was done at age 5 to correct a congenital defect. I really was fortunate my valve lasted this long. At the age of 14, I was told my valve would be replaced by age 20.
I have been so blessed in my recovery. It is great to no longer have the murmur that has been with me since childhood. It is great to return to the activities we love. . My husband and I just completed a three day backpacking trip. Woohoo! I felt so blessed to be able to experience God\'s beautiful creation in this manner.
Eventually my porcine valve will need to be replaced. I am hoping that technology will permit a transcatheter procedure when the time comes. But if not I know that Jesus will be in the boat with me again! Isn\'t it wonderful to see God\'s hand in the adventure?
Dear sister, God is good! He will continue to be with you through this adventure.
Prayerfully thinking of you.
