Surgery Update 7
3:06 p.m. - We just spoke with the surgeon. He said the surgery went very well, and Emma is now on her way to the PICU. There turned out to be a very large hole between the right and left ventricles, and three small holes between the right and left atriums. He gave us the actual leftover patch from which he had cut out the piece used to repair the VSD (the hole between the left and right ventricles). This will be pretty cool to have for her baby book. He did have to do a transanular patch (across the valve). I'm cutting this update short because we've just been given the go-ahead to go see Emma now. More updates later. Thank you SO much to all of you who have kept us in your prayers today. It has made a huge difference.

That is true! She is going to have one heck of a baby book isn't she! What a lucky little girl you have there!
Sorry, I just posted this comment but under my other blog!
I've been thinking about you guys all day. I'm glad that things seem to be going well. Thanks for the updates.

That's awesome that she is doing so well! Your updates sound exactly what happened to us, valve issues and all. I hope that all goes well as she recovers and that you guys are out of the hospital in the next 5-6 days. We'll keep praying for her!
I am so glad to hear that she is doing so well!

I am glad to hear you finally talked to the surgeon. I am also glad to hear you get to see her now. How cool that you have a keepsake for her to see when she get older. What a memorable day for her!
Well darn that they had to cut the through the valve, but it sounds like everything else went very well, considering! I've been thinking about you and praying all day. Thank you for posting all of the updates. The picture of your kids at the top is absolutely gorgeous.
I am glad the surgery went well. Hopefully the next few days will be smooth sailing.
Hugs & Prayers,
