GIVING THANKS

We just watched our sweet baby wheel by as she was headed back to her room.  She made it through the surgery without going on the heart/lung bypass machine - AMAZING.  She must like the OR, because again, her surgery went beautifully.  Let's hope that trend continues.  We now have to focus on getting through the next 48 hours, just as after our first surgery.  Dr. Mendeloff said that given how unpredictable our sweet princess is, only time will tell how well she does.  However, we know that we couldn't ask for the surgery to have gone smoother.  What a true GIFT from GOD.  Now it is time for her heart to do the rest.  

They are working to get her set back up in her room and once that is complete we should be able to be with her.  It will be an hour by hour journey for the next two days but we will be by her side.

  1. PRAISE JESUS! it is beyond wonderful to know that surgery went so well, and that bypass was not needed. if we've learned anything at all, it is that Charlotte is fighting with a strength beyond our understanding.
