As promised here is more information about Coleman's surgery. She has an AV Canal Defect, which we are told is common in Downs Syndrome children. The way I understand it is that the heart has four chambers, two at the top, two at the bottom. The wall that divides Coleman's bottom chambers did not develope correctly so they have to do surgery to create that wall.

We are so blessed by your love and support and especially your prayers. We thought we would list some specific things to include in your prayers for her. Thank you so much and may God bless you richly!!

· The surgeon’s name is Dr. Scott Bradley
· After surgery, it can be tricky getting her awake enough to be taken off of oxygen—sometimes takes several tries and more sedation
· Doctors will want to see her eating well again after surgery
· A common complication of the surgery is a leaky valve—sometimes requiring more surgery later
· We would like to experience God’s perfect peace while Coleman is in surgery and recovering
· Recovery and healing of the wound without complication or infection

Thank you for your prayers,
