Jamie, still praying for a healing that is complete and effective! You are brave friend and God is holding your hand right now!
Love you and I'm sharing a verse that has comforted me in the past:
"Now may the God of hope fill you will all joy and peace in believing so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
May this verse ring true for you and your life as well!
Love you, Sandy Coombs

Hi Jamie, I guess by now you are in surgery and I know everything is going well. I am fairly new to the journal, waiting on surgery myself, but somehow I let your surgery slip up on me. I pray that all goes well, no complications and speedy recovery. When you read this, you will be on the "other side of this mountain". Please have someone keep us updated until you can yourself. God bless!

Everything will go fine for you, you're ready and you are in good hands with your surgeon and your protector. You are in my prayers for a successful surgery and a good recovery. All the best!

Jamie,
You are such an inspiration and an amazing woman! I will be praying for you and your team!
I am always reminded of God's Love for us when I reflect on Jer 29:11. That verse has help me get through a lot of difficult- scary situations.
Today I am certain that- God loves us and has a plan for each of us and His plan is Never to harm us but to give us hope and a future!
So, I know you are in Great hands- you'll get through this and be back good as new in no time. You are so loved!

One of the gals from my heart valve journal pages has left me a message this morning and ask for my friends to pray for her, She will have the exact same procedure on January 23 as I will have on Wednesday. Would you all please add her to your prayers….Her name is Christine. Pray that the Lord would ease her fear and surround her with His peace. Also for a successful surgery and any other prayers the Lord puts on your heart for her. What a cool thing that God knits us all together when these times happen so we can lift each other up to Him, the Great Physician. God is sooooo gracious and good. Bless you dear friends for praying for this sweet gal as she moved forward on this heart journey. Love you all and thanks for ALL of your prayers. Jamie

Dear Jamie, I will think of you this Wednesday and have a prayer for a successful surgery and an as good as possible recovery. I will follow your footsteps the 23rd of January for the exact same procedure that you will have. Would it be possible for your dedicated group of prayers to add me for that day? It's a strange feeling to have people like you, Janis... who you are following through their journals, going in front of you in this journey. All the best Jamie!

Jamie Todor Thanks Christine for your kind words and prayers of encouragement. I would LOVE to have my friends pray for you sweet girl. I will send out an email this morning....and add you to our prayer list. I agree, I have been following a few folks this week who are knee deep in their journey and praying for them and anxious for their ups and downs. God seems to bring the body together so that we can lift each other up at times like this, What an awesome gift this journal is for all of us as we go through this heart journey together. Thanks for your post and for caring Christine,...I will pray for you. God bless you on this journey to wellness!! Jamie

It is a surreal feeling leadingup to the morning of surgery. Once you enter that prep room an hour and a half goes by so quickly because you learn you are no longer in control of your body. Others have their job to do and you are just there... 1 hr 45 minutes kater the lights go out....and you wake up a littlt after noon.....THIRSTY.......hopefully you sleep while your chest tube comes out....then its on to sitting up, JELLO, and the dreaded first steps....and you are a member of our elite club.

Jamie Todor I am sorry to hear about your BP problems...and I pray your heart is fine. Sometimes stress can be the culprit!! My ECG's are almost always fine....have them do a stress test to make sure things are OK. I was born with my problem but it didn't raise its head for years. I am thankful that I am young and able to get it repaired while I have hardly any other medical issues. I really feel blessed that my Cardiologist has watched me so closely and was able to spot any subtle change so I am able to get a repair. Will be thankful when this is behind me and I am home again and recovering, Thanks so much for the prayers sweet friend. I would love to see you and catch up. What we ARE too young for is having such grown up kids!! LOL....how DID that happen so fast. Love you dear girl...
