"...the journey of caring for, raising, training, and loving children will mark us indelibly and powerfully. We cannot be the same people we once were; we will be forever changed, eternally altered. Spiritually speaking, we need to raise children every bit as much as they need us to raise them."

update
we're in a room after 9 1/2 hours of waiting...jerry is having a rough time. he's requiring an oxygen mask to maintain his sats and is in a lot of pain. his blood pressure during the procedure kept dropping so they had to give him 6 liters of fluid. because of that, he's very swollen and needed lasix (a diuretic) to get rid of all the extra fluid they put in him. so far though, he's maintained a normal heart rate with no irregularities. at midnight he will be able to get out bed and move his legs which is his main complaint right now. hopefully as he's able to move more, he can clear out his lungs so that he can get rid of the oxygen. in the morning the doctor will come in and see how he's doing so that we can possibly go home. i miss my boys :(
