Good News!

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for all of your prayers for Justin! Well, we received some good news this morning from the Cardiologist team. They discovered after checking the pictures from his Angiagram yesterday that he has a problem with his Aorta where there is a tiny section that goes from the normal 6mm diameter of the vessel to 2mm and then back to 6mm where the blood is forced through. Other than that, his heart is in perfect shape! PTL!
His heart is working much harder on the left side to push that blood to his lower body so that is why he has the Dilated Cardiomyopathy condition.
The root of the problem is called coarctation of aorta and the good news is that it is treatable through surgery and other means.
The cardiologists haven't told us what they have decided to do in regards to the condition yet, but we will know later today. Justin is scheduled for surgery tomorrow at around 1:00 pm and will have to fast again before hand. Pls pray for wisdom in the doctors decision and that the Lord will guide every movement of the procedure.
Justin is doing awesome, he is happy as can be and is loving all the attention! I would love to post pics of him, but we can't at the moment. He is still just as boisterous as always, if not more so because of the extra fanfare and half hour visits by nurses and doctors.
We really feel that he is being upheld by all of your prayers, so keep them coming! Nat and I are doing good too, kinda going bonkers from the isolation, but at least we can leave the room one at a time from time to time. PTL!
The hospital here is amazing and the staff is unbelievably helpful and sweet! They are all heroes in my books!
The Lord is also doing huge miracles on our behalf in regards to the situation with Justins health care. As many of you may know, he is not yet covered by MSP and the ensuing bill for his stay here may be a crushing 70,000 CAN or more! The Lord is in control though and we received word yesterday from one of the many good samaritans that is going to bat for us that it appears that MSP will be able to cover all medical costs from Feb 4th on! What a miracle!!! We haven't received a final, but we are rejoicing already anyways!

Things to pray for:

That Justin will not react badly to the third session of sedatives and that the doctors will choose the perfect solution to fix the problem.

Against any complication or heavy bleeding so he won't have to get any blood transfusions.

For a speedy recovery after the surgery and that he won't have to take medications for the rest of his life!

Against Set and especially Sphinx who I am pretty sure are behind this problem! I am sure that there are plenty of keys out there to claim against those two!

Thanks again for all of your prayers!!

I am so thankful to the Lord that He helped the cardiologists find the cause of his heart condition, because quite often, they never find out what caused it and in this case, they are quite sure that his heart will return to normal size after his aorta is repaired! The Lord can do it!!

We love you all and miss you so much!
