Update: Brooklynn Shonet Swann - July 14, 2008

Brooklynn is progressing very well. She will have her second surgery on August 20th while she is doing this well. They have rented a house at 12722 Corning Dr., Houston, Texas 77089 and will remain there until it is safe for Brooklynn to relocate after the surgery, probably around 3-6 more months. She will have another surgery as she matures somewhere around the age of 5. We are so greatful for all of the prayers and support that we have received and importantly the awareness that you have created regarding her rare heart disease by publishing the information that I have sent. It is truly wonderful to live where everyone is like family.
On behalf of our children, Kerry and Brenda Lucas "Gramps and Granna"
