The heart surgery went so well and we are grateful for the prayers of the family. The many grandchildren joined in fasting and prayer.
Here is Bella and Athena visiting the hospital. Thanks Larisa and Kirsten and families for your love and attention and all the rest of the family. Interestingly enough Bella had heart surgery early this year and knew all about what to expect. She was with us in the hospital during the surgery. David's valve was replaced by a bovine valve or cow's valve. David has been helping around the house and is now officially retired. We are celebrating his retirement when Craig gets off his mission in December by taking a trip to Florida and meeting him there.
