Dear Followers....

Tucker had his tonsil surgery yesterday. We were sent home today with "close" watch. He did really well with the surgery. He is cranking, of course, but doing well. This was the reason for our initial delay of heart surgery in Boston. Tuckers airway was small and being blocked by tonsils that were too big....SO, with this done we can now concentrate on getting everything ready for the Journey to Boston.

It was so hard letting him go, making that walk down the hallway to the operating room. I am so grateful that it went so well. Two months and counting down.....gives us time to be strong and ready for our WHOLE HEART.

Thank again for everything---Tuckers Mommy

How To "Show Me Love"



Tucker's surgery is fast approaching. Plans have already been made for pretesting and fly out dates have been arranged. We are overwhelmed by the amount of support and donations that so many of you have given.

Tucker's journey to Boston will be here in a matter of weeks. In preparation for the journey, we are making banners and posters to be hung in his hospital room during his stay. A reminder that there are so many thinking and praying for Tucker and his family.

We are looking for photos of each person who has Tucker in their hearts. Photos that will give Tucker and his family faces to focus on when they need the support. If you have ordered an I "Heart Tucker T-shirt, we'd LOVE to have photos of you wearing them. If you have not been able to purchase a T-shirt, you can still do so here.

Besides wearing the love, we'd like to see photos of our readers showing some kind of love or well wishes. A sign you made perhaps, wishing Tucker the best of luck. We want to make sure Tucker's room overflows with love and support from each and every one of you.

Please send your photos to karenb526@aol.com
