We are settling, or at least trying to.....

The past two days have been wonderful, and exhausting as we are trying to adapt to a new time zone (13 hour difference), a new baby, a 4 year old who wants to stay up ALL night and watch movies and eat, wonderful visitors who have come to visit Naomi and bring yummy food, laundry, dishes, etc....
Today Noami saw a pediatric cardiologist and after a new ECO we have learned that she does indeed have stenosis of both the aortic and pulmonic valves. The pulmonic valve will need a balloon cath procedure (inpatient) sometime following Thanksgiving and the aortic valve will need to be replaced, hopefully several years from now, but we'll know more after the first procedure. As for the exact date of the surgery, we will know more next week. Please be in prayer for lil Naomi as we start this road of healing for her heart. She is such a blessing to us!! We love her so much and thank God for her.
Pictures to come soon, after the sleep deprivation wares off and our 2 kids decide to sleep at night instead of during the day.

Our prayers are with you sweet Naomi! We know that God has big plans for you and that you will need a strong and healthy heart, so this minor setback is just a little bump in the road to an amazing journey that awaits you! Madi says " tell Naomi to put Jesus in her heart, and he will make it all better"!. Out of the mouth of babes. A lesson for us all.
Hope the family will adjust quickly and get into a normal routine. Just park nate in front of nick jr. with a bowl of popcorn at nights and he will be just fine! Ha. Just speaking from experience!!!!

God is good!! I will indeed be praying for Naomi and the family as you face the healing process. Her little body will be healed, and God will be glorified.
Thanks for all the updates and precious pictures.
