battle wound # 2.....a vertical one

carson will be having heart surgery around 7 am in the morning.  he has a small hole in the wall (septam) between the left and right atrial. it known as an atrial septal defect or asd.  we have know about this small hole when he was diagnosed with cancer back in may 2007.  he is an amazingly strong boy! the surgery will take 4-5 hours and he will be in icu for 5-7 days. the hard part will be when he gets home....no running, jumping, wresting, riding his bike or scooter.....basically anything active! we hope this will be his last surgery ever! keep us in your prayers :)

I hope everything went smoothly with the surgery and that he is recovering comfortably! Collin had an ASD as well that was repaired during his heart surgery. I am sure you will have your hands full trying to keep him resting for so long, so please call and tell me what I can do to help! Your family will be in our prayers!
