Back in CA

So this was my blog a long time ago when Max was our only child hence the name According to Max. Things have changed a ton since then and I will get to making those changes here soon. Many of you followed our CaringBridge last July when we first found out Gordon had three very life threatening heart defects. It has been a very long time since I have updated it and for that I am so sorry. Due to legal counsel I was advised to not post for quite some time. That is no longer the case and I would love for each of you to follow us here on the blog! 

I just wanted to get a quick update out there to let you all know that we are back in CA. We (Arnold, Me, Gordon, and Adda)  flew into San Jose on Thursday July 31st. We had a very smooth trip here, thank God. We are here for a yearly routine check up. On Friday August 1st Gordon had clinic visits and pre-op appointments. Tomorrow Gordon will be having a heart catheterization at 1pm PST (4pm back home). As you can only imagine the nerves are flowing and I am one nervous mama! I will be posting updates here throughout the day. 

How can we pray:

Pray for Gordon's heart, lungs, and arteries all to be in great shape and not need any intervention while in the Cath Lab. 

Pray for wisdom for the doctors and nurses.

Pray for his peace and comfort as he wakes up from anesthesia.

Pray that God will give us the peace and strength that can only come from him.

Thank you all for your constant outpouring of love and prayers for our family. Keep the prayers coming. We love you all!

"And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, and establish you". 1 Peter 5:10

P.S.- Sometime tomorrow when Gordon is in the OR I will try and post the story of what happened to Adda.
