My lovely wife Brandy was born with a rare heart valve disorder. Ebstein's Anomaly is what it's called, and she has been at the Mayo clinic in Minnesota for the past week, having extensive testing done.

Her heart has started to enlarge, and it has been determined that her best (and really only) chance for survival is surgery. Tomorrow, she will have open heart surgery to replace the defective valve in her heart.

That's it, in a nutshell, I would appreciate if you all could include Brandy in your prayers. I'm trying to stay as positive as possible, she is probably with the BEST team of surgeons in the world, for her specific disorder. It is tough, to know that your best friend, and the love of your life is about to go through such a major ordeal, at such a young age.

Cheers,
Russ
