I'm praying as hard as I know how.
God guide the hands of the surgeon, give him grace beyond his skill to
heal our friend, and continue to give Wormy courage and strength to
deal with this trial.

> Wormy was born prematurely, and his aortic valve was malformed.
Instead of having 3 parts to it, it only has 2, and was therefore weak
to begin with. He did not know this however, until today when the
doctor told him. They have done multiple EKG's and at least one
Ultrasound Doppler study, which looks at blood flow.
> It seems the infection in his blood has damaged the already weakened
heart valve. He has been moved to ICU and will have heart surgery to
repair the valve. It will most likely be done in the next 24 hours.
> I went to see him and other than being scared as hell, he's doing
really well. The doctors say that since he is young and healthy (other
than that valve thing) he has a excellent chance of sucess and
recovery.
> He is supposed to have someone call me and let me know when the
surgery will be performed, and as always, when I know something, you'll
know.
> Pray, brothers and sisters.....pray real hard so we can get our
family through this difficult turn of the wheel, and get back to
howlin' , huntin' , and causing a ruckus like we should.
