    asking for prayers and board mojo!!!

    my 8 year old nephew is being medi-flighted from Reno to Las Vegas where he will be having open heart surgery to replace the valves in his heart, the doctors are not sure his heart will be strong enough to make it through this, please pray and keep your mojo up for him, he is like a child to me. I will update on this post as soon as I know more.

    Poor guy! If you're comfortable saying, why does he need valve replacements? Sending him and the family my best wishes for a smooth surgery and recovery.

    “Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would this world be like without dogs?”

    He was born with a heart condition, (his aorta is too big for his heart) I'm not sure on all details just know that for some reason the valves have stopped working. I know he also has an aortic aneurysm, I don't think he was being checked as often as he should have been. I've not talked to his dad yet but my other brother-in-law who lives closer spoke with me, so I'll know more when I can speak with his dad. Up until this past summer he was living with his mother here in town, but beginning of summer he went to live with his dad (which is a very good thing) in Reno. Hopefully when he makes it out of surgery I can get a clearer picture of what exactly happened.

    From what I understand he'll be rushed off to surgery shortly after arriving to Vegas, so it's going to be a late night for me. There's no way I'll be able to sleep until I know how he's doing.

    He's so young. Hopefully he's a fighter and will beat this. It's an hour flight so he should be there shortly.

    He's going to be at Sunrise Children's Hospital, I thought they left Reno already but they are prepping to leave now. It was his girlfriend and brother who left earlier since they are driving it will take them longer.
