Happy Birthday Louie!

Today my old man turns 57.  Two years ago, things were more bleak, and we compiled a very long list of our favorite things in honor of his 55th birthday.  Last year we were were so thankful to be able to celebrate with one heck of a party!  Today on his 57th birthday he headed off to his exercise class this morning and he'll probably mill around town later today.  Tomorrow is a big day for him; he and mom will  head to Houston and meet with Dr. Saggi (the transplant surgeon that Dr. Duke recommended).  We hope that this may be an answer to our prayers.  Happy Birthday Dad!

  1. Ditto to the birthday wishes, Louie and prayers continuing for great news with much promise from you visit tomorrow with Dr. Saggi. God has a plan and you definitely are in a "special" one. May Our Lord continue to bless you with love of family and friends and prayers from many prayer warriors!!

    May this be the last step to closure. Your faith has definitely been tested and drawn all of you closer and those who never knew you before. What an inspiration.

  3. Happy Birthday dear friend. We will be making the trip back to Houston as well. We will be thinking of you as we look out our window toward Hermann and hoping you are doing well. May God continue to wrap His arms around you and your family to give you the strength to continue your journey of healing. Take care and always keep the faith!
