The date is set - SEPTEMBER 11

We have received a date (a while back but not sure I really wanted to deal with it).  It is going to be on September 11.  We are flying out to Vancouver on Sept 9 for preopp on 10th.  Thanks to the Saskatchewan Children's Hospital Foundation for covering at least two flights as it really does help out.

Brody is going in for the Fontan surgery.  What does this mean you ask???  With his first surgery his blood got directed to come from his head directly to his lungs with very little coming from his heart.  Now they will reverse that...they will direct the blood from his lower body to come directly to his lungs, make his heart a three chamber heart and remove the bad valve.  It is still open heart but they will not have to stop his heart with this one.  Also if all goes well this should be his last surgery possibly ever!!!  Nothing is ever for sure but for now I will take it as I am pretty sure I am going to be a complete and udder mess as we get closer to the date.

So that being said we have been out having some summer fun and took a family holiday.  We did what we refer to as the Alberta loop...Medicine Hat, Drumheller, Calgary, and Banff.  Here is some great pics of Brody having a blast.
