His Big Day

Lord, I ask you to please guide all those caring for Steven Joseph today.  Please allow for a smooth surgery and recovery for our precious boy.  Please heal his heart and grant peace to ours.  We ask you to be with all children who suffer, in particular all of those heart patients at TCH this week, those we've met, those who we will meet, and those whose conditions have warranted changes (or may warrant change) in our schedule. 

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!
St. Padre Pio, pray for us, and help us remember to "Pray, Hope, and Don't Worry!"

(I'll try to update here as I can tomorrow.  We are looking at a 7:30 or 8am surgery time, although there is still a chance we could get bumped again due to a heart transplant patient.  Thank you for your prayers!!!)

 Kissing pictures of his best buddy J.  J's family made him a sweet photo book. He wore a tie in the car, but took it off when we got to the mall, because he didn't want people to look at it! Too cute for words.

His Build A Bear outing this week!

Making a wish before he puts the heart in the bear!
