Here is a quick update on what's going on with Tayler:
Thanks all of you for your concern for my brother, Tayler. As you may know, the attempt yesterday to repair his atrial-septal heart defect with an occlusive device was unsuccessful, and he underwent open-heart surgery today. The surgery went great, he is recovering well, and as far as the doctors can tell, there is no leakage through the patch they put over the hole in his heart. He was awake and (somewhat) alert this evening and able to sit up in a chair for a while. The recovery time for the type of surgery he had can be 6-8 weeks.
The many prayers offered in his behalf (and our family's) have been much- appreciated. Tayler and my family truly consider it a blessing that his condition was discovered when it was. Tayler is still planning on serving a full- time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

We are all so happy for Tayler and your family, Rochelle, that they caught this when they did and that he was able to have such good doctors who took care of it so quickly. We send our love to all of you and especially to Tayler, who I'm sure will be an outstanding missionary!
WOW! Thanks for the update. I hope you and your family are doing well. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you and your cute little family. Prayers will be said in your behalf.
Wow! I didn't know this was going on. Glad he is doing well.
I'm sooo glad things turned out well. I hope his recovery is smooth too.
thanks for updating us- your brother has been on my mind quite a bit, having my taylor just ahead of him in all of this... anyway- i'm thrilled tho hear that your sweet brother is doing well and that the surgeons performed the surgery to his best benefit. here's to youth, the miracle that he already is...and a happy future!
That's so scary! It's amazing the blessings the Lord sends, even when they don't come in the way we expected! I'm so glad things are progressing well!
And I promise I didn't comment that many times... My computer decided to freak out. :0)
