Yes, it's true. Despite all our efforts to try to stay home and away from germs, somehow Ethan and I (Julie) are sick. Ethan's got a stuffy nose andI've got a bad cough. Last night Dan started to feel like he was getting a sore throat (something I never had with my cough) so we're praying he's taken enough Vitamin C to fight it off. Ethan and I have been sick since Thursday and with his surgery a little over 2 weeks away, we're at the critical point of trying to determine whether to hope he gets better and go ahead with surgery, or to postpone it a little bit longer. When we were at the hospital last month for his heart cath, Ethan's cardiologist said he needed to be healthy for at least 2 weeks - not even as much as a stuffy nose - prior to surgery so that the nasal congestion wouldn't complicate his breathing while on the ventilator for surgery. I really don't want to have to put off the surgery any longer, since I'm not looking forward to it in the first place, but we need to do what's best for Ethan.
So PLEASE pray for us to get well soon so we can go ahead and get this surgery over, if that's God's will for us at this time. Praise God that we have this flexibility to schedule it whenever we're not sick, instead of being in a critical state with his heart condition!

Oh :( I'm sorry you guys are sick and right at the 2 week mark...I will definitely pray for healing and guidance as to what to do about postponing or going through with it. I hope you all get to feeling better soon. Julianne had her first cold a couple of weeks ago. She hated the bulb syringe! I hope you all do better with it. :)
