Cole’s Open Heart Surgery

Cole Bludworth, my youngest son, is scheduled to have open heart surgery this Thursday 3/22/18. He has a condition called constructive paracarditis and the surgery is suppose to help improve his quality of life. We were told today that the doctors will not go forward with the surgery unless we pay $10,000 BEFORE they take him back for surgery on Thursday. Without this surgery Cole will continue to live a restricted lifestyle that requires him to refrain from ANY physical activity, and even with those restrictions, his chest pains are still severe. Cole NEEDS this surgery not only so that he can live a normal life again, but especially to end the pain he’s been in since highshool—when all of this started. The doctors are considering it an “elective surgery” because his condition is not life threatening YET.... his pain is irrelevant to them. This surgery will save his life BEFORE the condition becomes life threatening. I’m asking that  first and most importany that y’all pray for Cole, his team of doctors, and his pain. And second, if you are able to donate to make this surgery possible please do. If you are not able to donate, please share! I’m grateful and thankful for all of you that pray and/or donate to Coles surgery.
