Surgery

We are in the CICU. Lily underwent surgery from about 9 this morning until 4. It took about five patches to repair all the tightened areas in the arteries surrounding her heart. She is currently on the ventilator and will not be allowed to wake up until they are able to close her chest. They will keep her open wth a patch covering for the next 24-48 hours. We ask you all for prayers and good thoughts. We thought that she was finished around 1:00 when they called, however they were notifying us that theyhad to go back in due to a sudden drop in blood pressure. She is very strong and will pull through this. Tom and I need prayers and good thoughts too. We love you all and cannot wait to put good news on the blog.
