Keep my family in your prayers.

8am sunday morning my family and I leave for Edmonton, Alberta (10 hour drive). My brother (17) has heart surgery wednesday morning. The aorta in his heart isn't growing with the rest of his heart, so he's not getting enough blood/oxygen to his body. I'm really nervous and scared about it, so say a prayer or two for him. Thanks everyone, talk to you when I return.

Hey blinks - Can do. What's your bro's name?

I had open heart surgery 2 years ago to replace a defective valve with an artificial one. If he (or you) need someone who's been through it to rap with, I'm here 24-7 (you can even hit me up on my cell).

Have a safe trip - You're in my thoughts brother.

I've known a few people with similar heart issues in their teens and so far they have all made it through *cross fingers*.Best wishes to your brother and entire family, I hope all goes well.

Well, we're home now... we got home at 7:30am. We left Edmonton at 8pm to try and beat the huge snow storm that hit, but we got stuck in it... we had to drive 50kms an hour for the last 300kms of our trip.

But, my brother is doing quite well. They put a stint in his heart, and that stretched his aorta went from 7mm to 15mm. He's no longer exhausted and now has lots of energy. Although, he got a blood clot in his leg after surgery... but that's fixed now, and we're glad to be home.

Thanks for the support everyone
