Surgery

Final update: We just talked to Dr Bradley. Everything went well, she did great through surgery. He said he got as much tissue out as he could without having to replace her valve. He said it "almost" perfect. Please continue to pray for a speedy recovery and that her valve continues to grow and the tissue doesn't grow back. We are going to visit her at 4:45pm and then we are going to let her rest. She's had a hard, traumatic day. I will update with pics tonight.

Fifth update: off heart lung bypass, and finishing up. Dr Bradley will come talk to us about revision when he is finished. I will update when he talks to us!

Fourth update: still working away in OR, ECHO came in and looked and there is still some pressure across the gradient so they are trying to get more out. She remains stable and it is not uncommon for them to have to do more work.
Please keep praying for our little girl.

Third update: still working away and she continues to remain stable :) I like smiley face pages, very comforting.!

Second update: just went on heart lung bypass machine and Lorelei continues to remain very stable! God is good!

First update: still cutting through scar tissue and she is stable. Will update with our next one!

So we just let Lo go away with the Dr for surgery. She did better then I thought (thanks be to Versed). She was a little bit drunk and funny. There was a sea horse hung from the ceiling and I would twist it around and laugh and laugh. We should've brought the video camera but thats ok. We should get updates starting between 9 and 9:30 and get one every hour after that. I will try to keep this updated as best as I can. She was holding her lovie and her blankie so that was all she really needed; besides prayers. Thank you all for those! We will talk soon!
