Been a day or two since I got on. Been busy spendin time with the fam and tryin to line up work.....not much luck on that so I hadta swallow some pride and call back my 9-5 and luckily they took me back. I would like to ask a favor of you guys. My daughter has Marfans syndrome, basically she has an enlarged heart and it could rupture at anytime if she over exherts herself or gets too stressed out. We went to the cardiologist 2wks ago for routine check up and they found something on the ultra sound thast threw up a red flag. Her aorta is growing way faster/larger than it should and we go this Thursday for a CT scan. They said we may be looking at an open heart surgery to replace it. She's only 12yrs old and having a real tuff time facing the fact, as are her mom and I. Could you guys keep my lil girl in your prayers. I know alot of you all have kids and it's my prayer that you cherish each and every minute you have with them. TP

Thanks so much guys, really, from the bottom of my heart. I truly appreciate all the support. You all are a great bunch of individuals, and I'm honored to be associated with each and every one of you. Just pray that things aren't as bad as the doctors suspect and that work picks up. Health care bills like this are flippin insane! But my dad always told me when I was younger, that no matter how bad you have it, there's someone out there who has it worse than you do, so that helps alot. Once again, many many thanks for all the support and words of encouragement. I will keep everyone posted. TP

You and yours will be in my thoughts and prayers Travis.

A good friend of mine with Marfan's battled his aorta in college, including a graft. It's been about five years, and he's doin just fine.

Hey guys, thanks for all the prayers. We got some results back today from the heart doctor, and it was very welcome news. Her aorta has grown some from her last visit, but not as much as the EKG led us to believe. The Ultra sound and MRI showed a better image. She doesn't need surgery right now, but will for sure in the future if it continues on the rate of growth it's been following the past couple of years. But for now, all is as well as can be. God is good! Thanks again to each and every one of you guys, I'm blessed with great friends at home and abroad.
