Some of you may or may not be aware that our nine-week-old son Marcel Joao was born with a serious heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot. He will require open heart surgery to correct the condition which is scheduled for next Wednesday, March 19th. Our boy is so delightful and strong it is difficult to believe that he is so sick.
While there is not much that people can do logistically to support us, we are asking that you help us create an energetic circle of love around him from now, through the surgery and some weeks beyond. On Wednesday beginning at 11 AM, if you are able, please light a candle, or whisper your most positive mantra or prayer for Marcel Joao as he goes in. We are told that the operation will last about 4 to 5 hours. The doctors expect Marcel to live a normal life after his six week recovery and there is a twenty percent chance that he may need another operation before he is a teenager. I am beside myself over all that he will have to endure but it is our hope that our loving intentions will also help heal his broken heart.
We will be at Children's hospital in Oakland. For those of you that were with us during our first born daughter Amaly's life, you know that we are no strangers to this hospital. While we cannot be there without thinking about Amaly and the sadness and difficulty of that time, we are hopeful of a much different outcome. Children's hospital is the most amazing place swarming with real pain and suffering but also with extraordinary rays of light that the children emit in their innocence.
Thank you for your love and support.
con mucha esperanza,
Aida
