Prayers for our friend Norah

This is a special post for our dear friends. Our Pastor and his wife Nikky are great friends of ours. As you can see their daughter Norah is a great friend of Natalie's. They are with each other many times during a week. I watch Norah 1 morning a week and Nikky watches my kids 1 morning a week also. Amazingly enough these two girls saw each other everyday during the school year. What you would never be able to tell about Norah by just looking at her is that she was born with a heart condition. Not just any heart condition but one that was when she was only 5 days old she had her first open heart surgery. She has undergone numerous angioplasties and also had a stroke when she was 9 months old during one of these procedures. Norah is 3 now and will be undergoing her second open heart surgery on July 9th. Please keep her and her family and the surgeons in your prayers for these weeks leading up to her surgery and the weeks that follow her recovery. I know that Natalie will miss seeing Norah. She will have her surgery in Milwaukee at the Children's hospital and will be recovering for 2 weeks for sure. We will miss her at our house playing. Everyday Natalie asks if she gets to see Norah. It is such a neat thing to witness these two girls who are only 3 years old have such a great friendship!
