Hi Joyce, Just wanted to let you know I am thinking about you. We have one great family to help you through this. I know I am not in touch as often as I should. Just know I love you! I plan on being at the hospital to support you the day of the surgery. Love, your big brother, Art (Bud)
Oh Joyce! I can't even imagine what things have been like for you. You are such an inspiration to many! Please know that I am sending up lots of extra prayers for you and your family during this trying time. Hang in there! Melissa Tuttle

Joyce's Heart Surgery is Scheduled
I will be undergoing open heart surgery on May 20th, 2008. It's possible I will be admitted the day before for the Cardiac Cath, but the one I had four years ago may suffice. The surgery will be performed by Dr. Alberto Pochettino at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. The address of the hospital is 3400 Spruce Street. We will attempt to keep you informed through this blog and we welcome hearing words of wisdom and encouragement from anyone and everyone. Take care!
