Visit with the Fitzpatrick's

This past weekend we found out our new nephew Kallen has a rare heart disorder. Only 1 out of 450,000 people have this disorder. Benton's sister Rachelle and her family live in Montana and had to fly Kallen out to go to Primary Children's. So, on Saturday we went and visited them at the hospital, it was such a nice visit. Benton and I stayed and talked with Rachelle, she is such a strong person, I have a lot of respect for her and what she thinks. Here's Benton and Kallen for the first time...

After visiting with Rachelle and Kallen, we met up with the rest of Benton's family and played games and ate pizza. I love getting together with his family, they are a lot of fun to hang out with and it's fun to even just watch his niece's and nephews. We got a picture of all of the kids on Benton's mom's side, with the exception of Kallen, here's all the crazy kids....

Today we ate yummy soup and rolls at Benton's moms house and then all drove down to visit Rachelle and Kallen. It's so fun having the family all together, I just wish the circumstances were different. Kallen is having surgery tomorrow morning at 7:30. We are all thinking positively about his surgery and are praying for him. He'll be at Primary Children's for the next 2 weeks, so our thoughts go out to him.

Oh that just breaks my heart, poor little guy, I will say a prayer for him, nothing worse than watching a sick baby. I hope everything goes okay, that is such a cute picture of all the kids on the floor!

Oh I hate hearing stuff like that. I will keep him in my prayers. He is darling. Things like that shouldn't happen to babies. LEt us know how the surgery goes.
