We had our final visit with the surgeon yesterday. Dr. Kempy has a very reassuring presence & puts everyone at ease....great doctor! He said half of the blood that is suppose to go through Jerry's heart is leaking out. This makes Jerry's heart work very hard to get enough blood through. We already knew that but it helped the kids & Jerry's mom understand what was going on. Jerry is getting very tired now & in much need of rest but he is pushing himself to stay awake & enjoy his family...that is the most important thing to him right now. After visiting the heart institute we went to Santa Fe to celebrate Jerry's 44th b-day! He said it was one of his favorite birthdays. Some of our dearest friends...the Toliver's gave the entire family tickets for Discoveryland....so we finished the evening watching Rogers & Hammerstein's famous outdoor musical...Oklahoma!!! What a great day!!!
