Kaylie's surgery, day 1

Thanks to all of you for your love and support and especially for all the prayers. We are truly blessed!

Monday, April 18, 2011 at 8:00 a.m. had to be the hardest moment I've ever faced as a dad. I gave my little girl over to two people I had met only minutes before, and I watched them wheel her away to the operating room. I found comfort in the fact that the Great Physician was going with her!

Shortly after 12:00 p.m. we got the call that they were done and she would soon have a room in the PICU. Praise the Lord all went well and according to plan.
