Change in plans..........

Well, our week started out pretty normal, but didn't end that way. Thursday afternoon we got a call that Kevin's dad was going into the hospital that afternoon. They scheduled a heart cath for Friday. So Kevin and I jump in the truck after dinner for the 3 1/2 hour trip. We got about 1/2 mile from home when I called to tell the kids something and Becca said she wanted to go. So we turned around and picked her up. (doesn't take a 10 year old long to pack)! We got here about 10 pm. His dad had the procedure today and they found blockage. The doctor who will do the surgery came in late in the day and said he would have the surgery Monday morning. He will need a double bipass. They will be keeping him in the hospital all weekend.
So prayer need #1 is for him and his recovery.
Prayer #2 ~ I got a call from Sarah this morning saying that it hurt really bad to breath and she couldn't swallow! That is hard for parents to hear when you are over 3 hours from your child. After a few minutes of panic thinking she was having an allergic reaction we started working a plan . After MANY phone calls to friends, clinics, kids, a nurse etc. we got her scheduled for a doc appt. Josh drove her and our friend Kimberly met them and went into the doc with her.(thanks Kimberly) She has bronchitis! 2 days ago she had the sniffles and today she can't breath! UGH
Prayer #1 Kevin's dad
Prayer #2 Sarah

Thanks!
Kathy
