Thank You!

Dear Family and Friends,

Brandy and I want to thank you for all your prayers and support during this time of need.

As most of you know on Sunday August 15 at 11:30PM we brought Drew to the Emergency room at women’s and children’s hospital. After 1 ½ hours they were able to get a line in Drew and stabilizer her. After she was revived the ER determined she had a heart defect and needed immediate medical attention. They transported Drew to Tulane Medical Center at 11:00AM on Monday Morning.

Drew was diagnosed with a Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) and COARCTATION OF THE AORTA.

Drew is doing great and God has made her stronger each and everyday that goes by. All of her reports have been positive. She currently is getting weaned off the ventilator and slowly coming off all medication. We praise God for the miracle he is performing in her life and ours. The Doctor will schedule surgery at the end of next week to fix her aorta. They plan to do open heart surgery once she is about 7-8 months old to fix the hole in her heart. We are praying that God will heal her heart so she doesn't have to go to surgery at all. God is so good and has given Brandy and I a peace that is unexplainable. God gave Drew to us for a reason and we are going to fulfill that reason.


Thanks again for all you prayers, love and support…


Steve, Brandy, Rylie and Drew
