We’re settling back in after our Memorial Day Weekend excursion. The big kids are now in their last two weeks of school and readily reminding us of it. Rudy had a visit with our local cardiologist this week who feels it would be wise to schedule the Glenn sooner rather than later. As Rudy’s scheduled for a heart cath on June 3rd, he even went as far to inquire whether we just wanted to get admitted right then for the surgery. Kind of sobering how close we are to the next round already. Our preference would be to bring the school year to an end for the big kids without another Rudy episode–let alone we’d really like to have our dedication celebration before the next round. This will hopefully be the game plan. As it stands now, there’s not an urgency to the degree that a week or two would make a drastic difference but if the cath tells us something else then we’ll respond accordingly.
So for now, we’re going ahead with plans to celebrate Rudy on June 12th, 6:30pm and hope that everyone in and around SB (or beyond) will come and join us. We envisioned having a bit more room to schedule this as a homecoming and end to the first chapter of the journey, but with the second close at hand, it seems even more timely to gather friends and family together to send Rudy off. We’ve created an Evite page with information and to give us some idea of who’s coming. If you’re reading this, you’re invited to come and to spread the word.
Rudy's Beat 
We wish we could join you all for Rudy’s party, but distance and school and such will not allow it. We are thrilled that we did get to see you all Memorial Weekend. Our love and prayers are with you as always. We pray that your time frame will hold as you have mentioned and all will go well for your last school days and your big celebration. Hugs and kisses.
we were also told a Glenn was needed much sooner, but Boston did not agree…so hang in…….hope you continue to have good days, prayers for all, Nick’s Grandma
Praying that everything falls into place for you these next few weeks. I really admire you for going ahead and making plans! Wish I could come for Rudy’s party but I will count on you for descriptions and pictures and on Oma for a verbal account. I know it will be great!
We can’t wait!! We are looking forward to seeing you all and celebrating our brave little guy!! Go Rudy Go!!! xoxo
