I am sorry for posting this on the GL site once again but I have had a few E-mails from Florians site here questioning about Joey's health.

Joey had open heart surgery on June 15. Surgeons sewed up a hole in his heart that he was born with. Surgery was supposed to last for 4 hours and 15 minutes. Surgery lasted 2 hours and 45 minutes. The hole is closed.

Joey came home on Saturday, June 17 and was running around like a nut. His favorite toy is a lawnmower that blows bubbles.

He had a checkup with the surgeon last Wednesday and all is well.

Again, I thank you for your prayers, thoughts and well wishes...I firmly believe they made the operation go very, very well..

If you want to see a picture of Joey, I can E you if you send me your address. It is a picture of Joey pushing his lawnmower nine days after the surgery.

Surgery was performed at University Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio USA....

Thank you again, and may God Bless All Of You!

Wes...thank you for sharing your son's miracle with us. God Bless and have a great 4th.

Thank you Florian for posting the picture at this classy site.

Also, the picture that you see above is Joey nine days after the surgery, but in all reality he looked like this the day he came home, two days after the surgery!

Thank you all for you kindness...
