Heart Surgery Successful !
I am posting on Catherine's behalf while she and Jason tend to Reuben in post op. I quote directly from the text she sent me today at 2:50 pm Pacific Daylight Savings time : "It's a miracle! Arnold Schwarzenegger's doctor has fixed our boy's five heart defects. Will you please post for us on our blog till I can get there? I fainted when I saw the doctor coming towards us. He is in recovery, and I will post in time." I am lighter than air for them all! ~ yuka

From Lucy Barker:
Catherine and Jason, Sorry but I have to revert to what now seems the old fashion way of sending a message considering your blog and the attachments that people have made, I will have to look into that and get my head around yet another communication avenue!!! (this is coming from a person who does not use a mobile phone! and certainly has not mastered text messaging).
I have been following your blog (Anne gave me the link) with great interest, of course some sadness and often moments or relief and admiration for you both and Reuben of course who really is proving a real fighter. It really is remarkable what you are doing communicating in this way to all your friends and family, it is so nice to hear of all your joys and Reuben's achievements and I am sure there is some therapy in there for you as well. I was so pleased to read today that Reuben's latest surgery has gone so well, just shows you
From Sara Whiley
Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I'm sooooooo pleased he's OK and all fixed - made my day. Hope he continues to do well. Will you be able to take him home again soonish?
Love and hugs
