Whitfield Edward Johnson "Field"

My best friend, Lisa and her wonderful husband Brad, welcomed their precious little boy Field into the world on Monday, June 14th.  Shortly after Fields arrival, they learned that Field has a congenital heart defect.  The doctor's term for it is double inlet left ventricle which means he has a three heart chamber rather than four.  As you can imagine, our hearts broke for this new family of three.  Field will undergo 3 surgeries...the first one taking place at 4 weeks of life, the second one will be at 6 months, and the last one will take place when he is 3 years old.  Field was able to come home from the NICU yesterday to his new home, which I'm sure he loved.  Sweet Field is blessed with such wonderful, godly parents but I ask that you keep them all in your prayers over the next months.  Please pray for encouragement, guidance and that God's hand is with the doctor's as they perform his first surgery. 

Below are a few pictures of sweet little Field and the Johnson family!  How precious is he!!
