Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your whole family. Enjoy the rest that you will be getting. Because after your healed we will be walking our "Dogs" together. And a much needed dinner together!!

Jean and Bill,
Keep up the positive thoughts and remember how many people are praying not only for the both of you, but your medical team as well! God has been with you from the very beginning of this journey - He will not leave you now.

You will be home before you know it and this will eventually become a thing of "the past".

Jean,

I'm following your journal with interest - I'm going to have AVR in the next few weeks with Dr McCarthy.

I have to say I'm not really too worried about the procedure because I have no choice, so why worry about something I can't control. I figure I have a great surgeon at a great hospital, so that's all I can do.

The only thing that worries me is the pain and the recovery but, again, no point worrying (I keep telling myself).

Best wishes to you for a successful surgery,

Dirk

Praying for you, Jean, that you would feel God's Presence--both now during your procedure, and all through your heart "restoration" journey. You already have His Peace! Probably because you know you're in His hands. Congrats on your retirement!

Love, Kaye
