We were just told that in 30 minutes or so they will take Ramona, put her under anestesia, place a PICC line, and do the CTscan to take a look at her cardiovascular anatomy. We’ll post more info as we have it. Ramona is asleep in Jane’s arms right now.

Thank you all for your prayers and love.

We are here waiting for some tests to be done. Ramona will have a line placed this morning so that they can do a CT of her heart and aneurism. We are hoping that they will be able to repair it, it is 20mm, quite large. She is very likely to need open heart surgery before coming home again. Our big hope is that in addition to repairing the problem with her patch, they will be able to give her some further improvement on her heart function.

Just wanting to get that word up here as soon as possible. More details will be added here soon, so please check back. Pray for Ramona, Jane, Andy, and Simon!

Jane just called and asked me to post an update. Ramona’s color has been a bit more purple lately, and they are feeling concerned. (more…)

There are a few things happening in our house lately which defy explanation. Cue spooky prepared piano music…

It’s been brought to my attention several times these past days that if Ramona wasn’t supposed to be here, she wouldn’t. I know. Not sure where all those icky thoughts come from, but they seem to be a reality of this situation.

I realized today that although I’ve never said it out loud before, I think that Ramona’s condition is probably my fault.

Miss Mona turned six months today. To celebrate we went out as a foursome for a drive. You know that’s gotta be a special occasion since gas is like $3.50 a gallon in these parts. We checked out some “garage-mahals” going up in the neighborhood. This is my new favorite word that describes a huge new-construction house whose most prominent architectural feature is a three or four car garage. A close second in the new word category is “destinesia”, that’s when you forget why you came into a room once you get there. Happens to me all the time.
