Out Of The Blue

We received an ambiguous phone call from our cardiologist’s nurse today. She wanted to let us know that Dr. Wax (the cath surgeon) had heard back from his overseas colleague and that Dr. Wax is now recommending we try something surgical for Ramona.
We don’t know what this might be. The nurse didn’t know and we will likely need to wait until her February 5th appointment to find out. This news is exciting, troubling, confusing and hopeful. I’m feeling encouraged that they might be able to do something else for her but am confused and anxious about what it might be and when.
Please pray that we will have peace while we wait to hear what her team is recommending. Here’s a shot of Andy and me (no babies!) on New Year’s Eve. It was our tenth wedding anniversary! I love you baby, Happy Anniversary.
AHHH! This is so exciting! I’m anxious along with you guys
Wow we will certainly be praying. Miss you guys, great pic by the way
Oh Jane, why did she PHONE without more information! I would go crazy.
It sounds like good news! I’m glad to hear it! And I love the picture of you two. You are a beautiful couple! Happy Anniversary!
Yeah, I am so excited! I can’t believe you have to sit her and wait another 3 weeks to find out what it is.
Happy Anniverary!
Try doing a little dancing in the basement to waste the time away btw now and the 5th. Dancing always helps.
This sounds quite promising, but your bevy of emotions is completely justified. Will be praying that you learn more soon.
That’s exciting, but a long time to wait for more news! You two look wonderful (and really just the same since LU!). Congrats on 10 years–my husband and I celebrated our tenth last June.
That could be good news! Praying for you…
Wow…I’ll definitely be praying. And happy belated anniversary!
praying and hoping!!
xo, Melissa
Wow Jane and Andy. We will be waiting with you and for you. You guys look so good in this picture! Miss you all so much!
Congrats on ten years! That pic of you two is very sweet…so cute.
Waiting till Feb 5th for more information…UGGHHGH! It sounds hopeful to me. I wouldn’t think that a nurse would call to give you a heads up if it weren’t positive news. We will send up prayers to confirm GOOD news…and I’ll be eager to hear what the other option is!
Take care. Enjoy your weekend! xooxx
this is exciting news we are sending you lots of love and hoping for the best! Sending wishes of patients and more patients while you wait for the apt. hurry up and wait is always hard! ~wyndi
am so excited for you guys. Will keep you guys in my prayers! Love you Ramona and co.!!!
Wow. Confusing, exciting, maddening, I’d think! We’re praying for and thinking about you lots. You’re both adorable – congratulations on your anniversary! Hard to believe it’s been so long and how much has happened. You are beautiful and precious to us.
Will hold you in prayer while you wait to hear more. And will pray that the news is hopeful! Thinking of you all!
jane, how weird that she would call with such a mysterious message and leave you hanging. would have to guess that she interpreted it as good news. fingers crossed!

This is great to hear — maddening that you have to wait for specifics, but we will all be waiting with you!
love, the Boyds
Wow We will be holding you in prayer around this new bit of hope. It is hard not to know more, I’m glad there are creative docs out there seeing new possibilities.
Peace to you all
Kerry and Eric
Wow! I hope you hear soemthing wonderful in February.
As always, my prayers are with you guys. And happy anniversary!
Anxious to hear more after Feb 5th! Happy anniversary you handsome couple.
xoxo
That is certainly a “Well, well, well… what does this mean?” I am sure you don’t want to get ahead of yourselves, but I hope it can be the initial seed of something wonderful. Hope 2009 has great things in store. Prayers and thoughts always with you.
oh my gosh!
That’s not even right…teasing you and not giving you some info…GIRL…I hope you remain calm and wait for the news. How amazing!!!
and I must say…you two are SO DARN CUTE!!! Happy Anniversary!!!
I’m still in awe of your card…what an amazing doctor…to seek out every possible alternative. awesome.
hope you’re having a wonderful week!
Hi Jane,
I know it has been ages since I ‘ve been in touch. I did want you to know I still check your blog everyday and think about Ramona all the time. I am so excited that they have something that they want to try! I wonder if it is a RV to PA conduit???!!! Anyway, I am praying for all of you.
Kelly (Jack’s mom)
Belated HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Belated HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY!
Advanced HAPPY WEEKEND!
Praying and counting down with and for you until your appointment on 5 Feb…
Hi. You definitely don’t know me, but I have been following your blog for the past few months and think that your daughter Ramona is just beautiful. I’m a young heart mom too with a nearly 5 month old daughter with the 22q deletion. Actually she has a theraputic cath coming up Feb 12 that we are praying all goes very well. Just wanted you to know that ever since I found your blog and especcially since your post about your daughter’s cath, I have been praying very hard for your baby! Ah the beauty of the Web huh? Thank you for sharing your struggles and updates of that beautiful girl. We will keep praying for your family! Please say a prayer for us too if you think to. God bless!
Hi! We are praying that a wonderful possibility will appear on the 5th. Thought of you, Andy, as we went to PAC Symphony last night. It was a tribute to Louis Armstrong. Trumpeter(and vocalist) (and comedian) Wayne Stripling was the guest. He was great and the percussion was amazing, too. Our best wishes for a happy result Thurs. Love, Bev and Fr. Bill
Just thinking about you guys today. I hope you get some good, exciting news at your appointment.
thinking about the family today. hope the appointment goes well and positive. sep
Yes, thinking about you! Love.
Hi Jane,
I hope you remeber me from group in chicago. I saw your name and the prayers for your daughter. I am sorry I did not hear of this a long time ago. It is my own fault, life has gotten ahead of me and I have lost touch w/ so many in chicago. Your children are beautiful and I will keep you and the family in our prayers. much love, sean and mark schumacher
