Hey Y'all,
This is adventureboy, I am in need of some help. My 13 year old brother who I will call "Neoman" is going in for heart surgery. He has had some congenital heart defects that were "fixed" when he was 2 and so this is a follow up procedure hopefully to fix the problem of a narrowed aorta. November 30 they are basically going to cut out the narrowed area and splice the aorta back together. So Please keep him and the rest of our family in your thoughts and prayers. It would be much appreciated....

Please remove this post if inappropriate (Alan Romania or Blast)

In the eleven years since your brother had surgery, what heart surgeons can accomplish for their patients has become even more incredible.

I have just prayed for you, your brother and your entire family and the surgeon(s) who will be operating.

What you are going through is a poignant reminder during the holiday season that the most important things in life, aren't things.

Best wishes to you all.

Its great that your family - and the doctors - have been tracking this and are taking care of things.

Best wishes to you all and keep the faith. As nervous as you all must be, things could be much worse - you certainly have something to be thankful for.

If the original post was inappropriate, I'm leaving! lol

All kidding aside. My family & I will say a few prayers for you and yours. If you don't mind sharing the time of the surgery on the 30th I'll make sure and pray specifically at that time too.

I hope he doesn't need to be in hospital too long.
The surgeons might be doing better work now but the food has not improved at all.
