Introduction

This blog is initially being set up to keep everyone informed of the pre op and post op progress that I am making with my journey through open heart surgery. I'm hoping that this will be a fun way for everyone to stay connected to what Ashley, Tony and I are experiencing, as well as all the fantastic people that will be caring for me. (Thank you to my mom and dad, and to Tony's mom and dad for your commitment to helping us, and to everyone else that will be supporting us through prayers, visits, cards and/or phone calls.)
