Chad and I have had to re-learn how to breathe. In moments of stress and anxiety you stop breathing and then gasp and pant only to stop once again. The body is so tense, every muscle clenching, but that is your new normal; ease of mind and heart are forgotten. It is only when you remember the wise counsel of the Lord to "be still and know that I am God" that you learn again to relax and breathe and leave things in His more than capable hands. This precious son of mine, so small and helpless, has only been mine for a few short weeks. He was God's long before and is still, and He is able to watch out for Joseph far better than I am. So, as we deal with pulmonary valve stenosis and look ahead to percutaneous coronary intervention, all terms and phrases I didn't know existed until now, I am grateful to have the help of heaven. We have felt great peace in the face of bad news and we have experienced the inexplicableness of faith; how it will be alright cannot be expressed logically, but Joseph will be alright just the same. Thank you for your prayers; they are much appreciated and everything really will be well for God is in the details.

I am in shock. You and Joseph are in our prayers. When is his surgery? Will he be on medication for a lengthy period of time?
Our heart aches for your family we know that you have such faith and the Lord will be there every step of the way with you.
We love your family and know that all is well with the Lord as Guide and Guardian! Our prayers go with you. It was so good to talk with you!!
I've been thinking of you so much since I heard. Your little guy has been in every one of our family prayers. You have always had amazing faith Joanna. What a lucky little boy to have you and Chad as parents. We will all keep praying! Much love to you.
He has the sweetest little face! I love him so much and I know that everything will be OK. We are praying for him and for the rest of your family. I love you. Call me if you need anything.
