Prayers Please!!

Hey everyone,
I know how much all of you have been a support and prayer team for us with Reagan along her journey so I wanted to let you know about a heart friend of ours who will be having surgery tomorrow.  Callie Carver, pictured here, as she flew out to California last week from her home in Florida, is one of our sweet friends we've met along this journey.  We first met Callie when she was just a baby at the Ronald McDonald House in California.  Reagan & Callie share the same heart surgeon, Dr. Hanley.  Tomorrow, Callie will be having a major heart surgery & I want to ask for your prayers for her, her parents Will & Sarah, as well as the doctors, nurses & everyone caring for her.  Callie has had several surgeries in California but never gone on bypass during any of these because it was too risky for her little body.  In tomorrow's surgery, she will go on bypass for the first time during her surgery to remove 2 shunts and replace with a central shunt.  I know what anxiety her parents are feeling as they approach tomorrow and all the while their daughter not knowing what's about to happen.  It's a scary place, we parents have to go, on surgery days, but know we must go there in order to move on to more happy days at home with our children.  Please pray for Miss Callie, Will & Sarah & all of her care team.  Thank you all!!!
