Charlie has had a very relaxing day spent with family and friends. His brother, Joe, and sister, Karen flew out to be with us. Courtney and Farley arrived. Friends arrive by the dozens.
The doctor told Charlie that this surgery will increase his energy level by 40%. Can you imagine Charlie's energy level being any greater than it already is? He will be unstoppable!
Beginning at 7:30 am tomorrow, dad's heart surgery will take place. Part of is aorta will be replaced, his circumflex artery will be bypassed in two to three places, and the aortic valve will be replaced. Dad loves to think that a pig or cow "part" will be in his chest.
Charlie's spirits are high. The love surrounding him is nearly visible. Charlie and Kevin fell comforted and reassured that the Lord is in control!
Dad wanted me to include several questionable jokes. INSTEAD, I will attach a picture of my mom and dad. They love each other so much!
You girls have beautiful parents - inside and out!
