Day 64 - This journey we have been on has truly reaffirmed to us the power of prayer and we are asking that those of you who will will continue to pray. Caitlin's cardio-surgeon called today with a surgery date pending insurance approval which is where prayers are needed. For reasons more complicated than I can understand it is not uncommon for insurance to throw up a road block to the surgery to fix the hole in her heart. The surgeon is confident in his decision to fix her heart but now we all wait and pray for the documentation to fall in line with the insurance company. Prayers have brought us this far and we have total faith that prayers will carry Caitlin through this journey with the insurance company and to a more complete recovery with a heart that is no longer "holey" but instead holy in spririt and faith. She sounds so happy when I talk to her although to paraphrase her, she is tired of being tired. I talked to Chris today and they weathered the hail storm in Austin today with a bit of traffic drama but all ended up well. He was getting ready to cook supper for Jill when I talked to him.
