Carson Update.....

Yesterday Carson had open heart surgery. My brother-in-law said he coded again during the surgery, but they brought him back. He had a heart defect. The doctor said his heart had been operating as if he was running a marathon everyday and his heart finally gave up. Now his heart is beating on it's own. The next 48 hours are critical and the doctors say he will get sicker before he gets better.

Yesterday I hurt for him and the family. I wanted someone, anyone, to tell me to get on a plane to be with them. Finally, my oldest sister Robin told me "if you want to come then get to coming." So at 5 pm South African time, I found a flight. Now fourteen hours later, I'm at the airport ready to board the first of four flights to Las Vegas. I'll arrive in Vegas tomorrow evening. My flight is one-way. I'm trusting God to provide the funds for a ticket when it's time for me to return to South Africa.

Today Carson is six weeks old. Today is also my both of my sisters' birthdays. They were born on the same day three years apart. Thank you for your prayers. I'd appreciate your prayers for my traveling. Please continue to pray for Carson, our little fighter.
