A Beating Heart

Praise God! Dr. Laks repaired Milan's own valve. He is off the heart and lung machine, and his heart is beatting! Such a relief to hear. Milan should arrive in intensive care in the next half hour.

Pray for his recovery, especially in the next few days. Specific Prayer Requests:
- Pray Milan's recovery can avoid post-operative complications
- Pray his blood stays clear of clots and embolisms
- Pray for peace and comfort while the breathing tubes are still in his throat
- Pray for wisdom on behalf of the nurses and staff.

Thank you for your prayers. God is good!

Every good and perfect gift comes from above! Our family will continue to blanket your dad, mom, family & your medical team in prayer! The Cerro's
P.S. All day I kept hearing the Sonny & Cher song in my head, "And the beat goes on" It could be your dad's new theme song!
