Ryan's heart procedure didn't go as expected. In fact, it went quite the opposite. As mentioned before, the doctors were hoping to go in and balloon his heart valve delaying surgery for another year or two and possibly qualifying him for an experimental surgery that would allow the doctors to replace his valve without having to do open heart surgery. Unfortunately, they found that the right coronary artery in his heart is 99.9% blocked and they will have to do open heart surgery to replace his valve and perform a bypass. Not the news we were hoping for. This will be Ryan's 4th open heart surgery. It will be in April or May. Not fair.
A lot hasn't seemed fair lately.
And with that, I guess you better get to know Ryan and Kendra so that you can be praying for them in the months ahead. You'll certainly be hearing about them from me :)
I'm pretty sure this is how Ryan felt after hearing the news...
Here is Ryan, my sister, Kendra, and their little boy, Sawyer. Picture Perfect.
While you are praying for Ryan & Kendra...don't forget to keep praying for Jess & Joel and their families.
And now...something that makes me smile. Because sometimes...we just need to smile.

Laura you are so right!! It's not FAIR! I've been feeling that way since we first learned about Cora. (I'm Jessica's cousin, Sharley from California).
We will add Ryan to our prayer list here at our house and at church.
God Bless, your baby is very cute and obviously enjoying his lunch!! Clever mom to remove clothes!!
I'm so sorry to hear that Laura. My goodness so much has been happening in the last few months. I will definitely be praying for you and your family. Love you!
I think it is good to be honest sometimes, even if it means not being positive. I got so sick of people telling me everything would get better when I had my misscarraige, all I wanted was for someone to say out loud what I was feeling...... it's not fair and it won't get better or eaiser. I needed to voice that before I could start healing.
Your reason for smiling has me smiling! What a cute little guy! Fabulous photos! Enjoy every minute of it!
Your family remains in my prayers.
